One
Instance

Mrs. Anna C. Stowell of South Weymouth
Mass, in acknowledging receipt of $4,000, for
value of a policy on the life of her husband, re-
Gently deceased. writes State Agent James T.
Phelps as follows: Il wish to acknowledge the
prompt settlement of the insurance under my
husbands policy 410Ol, and also to take this op-
portunity of expressing to the company my sim
cere appreciation of the way in which havN been
treated. That any Of my friends may understand
why write in this way l will outline the con-
dltion Of affairs, premium due on Mr..
Stowells policy April 30, 1896. This was not paid,
and since his death we find that the company
sent second notice on May :, and third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be reinstated if premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still letter conveying
the same Information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr. Stowell's possession. In a
pocket of an office coat we found check made
by Mr.. Stowell for this premium and dated May
s. Mr.. StowelHs accident occurred June %, and
he died June 2S By the terms of the policy 1
should have been entitled to 5000, but am CRATE
full that the company, while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount,
have still seen fit TO pay the face of the policy,
paying the face-value of the policy under the
above circumstances, is but in keeping with its
general policy. Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to that their hus
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fall due, as companies are not obliged to pay
the face value of policies unless all arrears have
been paid. Mrs. Stowell's words of appreciation
are nom too strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.
