Story of an Old Insurance Policy
Comes to Light.

COmes co LlBHI.
There was a curiosity in the shape Of
an insurance policy exhibited at the
state insurance department yesterday
by John Kelly of this city. The policy
was issued by the Phoenix of Hartford
April, 1854. 1t was paid out in 1874.
The amount of the policy is 81 900 and
the amount of the annual premium was
$4127.
1t was issued to John H. Kelly who
was given permission to engage as a To-
connective engineer He at that time
lived in Michigan City. Mrs. Kelly now
lives in Ellis Kan, and is inquiring
as to the value of the policy at this
time. There is nothing to indicate that
value which has been true since it was
paid out twenty-six years ago.
There may be large dividends await
ing the owners, but this is not now
known.
