| This is a proceeding for the recovery of death benefits under the Workmens Compensation Act. The claimants are the widow and a minor child of the deceased employee. The award of the Industrial Commission denied compensation, and the claimants appealed to the circuit court where the award was affirmed. Since the minor child is a claimant, the right to the amount of the death benefits, which exceed $15,000, became vested at the time of the employees death, and therefore appellate jurisdiction is in this court. Gennari v. Norwood Hills Corporation, Mo., 322 S.W.2d 718. |
