DEcEAsED-The body of Francis M
Koontz arrived in this city by boat on
Wednesday. The corpse was accompa-
MED by the widow and one child, and by
Riley Koontz, father of deceased. Mr..
F. NJ Koontz was formerly engaged in
the furniture business In Harrisburg,
but had left for California in the hopes
of beneftting his health. He was
afflicted with that fell disease, consump-
ton, to which he succumbed, IN the
prime of manhood, shortly after his ar
rival in California. He was prominent
member of both the Odd Fellows and
Masonic orders, and in life was true
man His father and mother, being IN
formed that all hope of life with him
was ended, fastened to his bedside, but
arrived two days after his death. May
the blessings of the Father of the be-
reaved ones be with them in this hour of
their affiiction.

other things, that he had seen that loco

In reply to other inquiries, said it was a
long narrow thing, and from the looks of
the tires, he should judge it bad crossed

had got sight Of Albany Fire Company's

pany, of Boston
Ge,tlemen-Haying taken lively interest in
the affairs of large and destitute family, left
by old resident of this city, who died Aug. 2,
1869, and who was insured in the New England
Mutual Life Insurance Company, we take pleas
ure in making the following statement for the in
formation of the public:
A. e. c. Miller Yves insured by ordinary Life
Policy No. I3,054, bearing date January 81 1863.
He paid annual payments to January 81, 1868,
inclusive. Since then nothing has been paid.
He died August 2, 1859, eighteen months
after the last payment of premium, yet your
company working under the Equitable Lapse
Laws of Massachusetts, pays the widow and
orphans the whole policy, deducting only the pre-
MUM due while in all other companies doing
business here, about which we know anything tie
policy would long since have been forfeited,
By the New England Mutual, the widow has
been paid 81 $50 so. This consider munif-
cent more especially when we take iuto consid-
GRAFTON that the family would not have received a
cent from any other company doing business on
this coast. This, in our estimation, is enough to
recommend this company above all others, This
is Equity, this is Mutuaiity. We, therefore, rec
ommend this company to the public, as the only
company that has no forfeitures.
We herewith inclose you the Acknowledgements
of the widow. Respectfully, etc.,

Gentlemen--On my own behalf and in the name
of my orphan children, [ beg to thank you, and
through you the New England Mutual Life In
surance Company of Bos on, for its munificence
in paying me my terminated policy on the life of
my husband. On the 2ist of January, 1869,
misfortune compelled me to forego the payment
of the last prsmium-w which non-payment in any
other company would have lost me my policy
but am now overjoyed with the receipt of the
amount of the policy (less the amount of the un-
paid premium only, thanks to the equity of the
Massachusetts Lapse Laws, that must bless many
widows and their children. l recommend the
New England Mutual to all who would provide
against possible misfortune. l sincerely thank
you again, gentlemen, for the payment, and also
for your generous and gentlemanly assistance in
the matter. Respectfully,
BETSEY MILLER.
