THE
AID WANT AGE
OF HAVING A
Maine NOn-fOr. eiture Law Policy
IN THE
Union Mutual Life Ins. Co.
OF MAINE.

In 1864 and 1865, Capt Charles Gardiner Of Chel-
sea, Mass. insured in the Union Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of Maine, for $4,000, on two ordinary
Life Policies, payable at death provided the prem
iums were paid annually, according to the terms Of
the contract.
On the I'd day of July, 1871 Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form now used by the Com
pany, which gives the benefit Of the Maine Non-for
feituIe Law.
On the 18th day of September, 1871 he sailed from
Boston as master of the good ship "Iceland'' on
voyage to Calcutta. The ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July u, 1877, and
August 8, 1871 were not paid, and by the terms of
the original policies this would have worked a for
feiture of the entire Insurance; but under the new
policies which ID been gratuiteusly offered by the
company, the insurance would have been continued
in force than three years, or until November,
1880, notwithstanding the onpayment of the prem
iums due in 1877 and the fact of the death beng
tablished to the satisfaction of the company the full
amount of the policies was pail on the goth day
