POLICY IN FORGE ON
 LIFE OF DIR. CRANE
Connecticut Mutual Seeks to Locate Former Birmingham Mans Wife,
 for Whom Policy Was Written

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insur- ance company of Hartford is eager to learn the whereabouts of Dr. Adalbert r. Crane, who formerly lived in Bir- mingham and had offices in the Browns Marx building. The company thinks Dr. Crane may be deceased and an insur ance policy on his life in favor of Minnie E. Crane is still in force. In ex- planation of the situation the company writes The Age-Herald as follows:
 "In the year 1897 this company issued a policy of insurance on the life of pr. Adalbert r. Crane, for the benefit of time Dr. Crane stated his residence as Detroit, Mich.
 AS this company has not heard from pr. Crane for many years, it is possi- kle that he may have deceased, and tha, the beneficiary of the policy may not be aware of the existence of this in- surance, which is still in force. in which case, the company would entertain a claim to the policy by the legal own CTS thereof.
 "The last known address of Dr. Crane is 904 Brown Marx building. Bir- mingham, Ala, but communications 10 him there have been returned un- claimed It is possible that in Birming- ham or vicinity there might be some person directly or indirectly interested, or others who might be able to give some assistance in locating the person insured, or his heirs, and by such means. perhaps, bring relief to some deserving person."
