In the Matter of the Claim of Maybelle Bowman, Respondent, v. W. F. Simmons, Inc., et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.
   Appeal from a decision of the Workmen’s Compensation Board, filed October 22, 1970, affirming the Referee’s determination that decedent died of an industrial accident and awarding death benefits to the widow. There is substantial evidence to support the board’s decision that decedent was engaged in arduous work and that his death resulted from it. (Matter of Burris v.
