Description
MILLARD, J. -- John S. Higgins, who continuously worked as a millwright for St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company from March, 1919, until June, 1941, died June 15, 1941, while on a railroad train enroute to Colorado with his wife, Jennie B. Higgins, on advice of several physicians to change his residence to a higher and drier climate. The Colorado death certificate states, as the immediate cause of death, "cardiac asthma -- acute myocarditis." July 28, 1941, the widow filed with the department of labor and industries a claim for pension in which she alleged that her husband's death was the result of dust inhalation incident to his employment at the plant of his employer. March 20, 1942, the claim was rejected by the supervisor of the department on the ground that there was no evidence on an occupational disease, as contemplated by the workmen's compensation act; that the cause of death was acute myocarditis accompanied by cardiac asthma, a condition which was "brought about through natural causes and not through exposure to dust."
