T. Lewis Co. 1 Promptly Pays Its Policy on the Life of the Late George II. Hamilton. (Rich wood Gazette.

In 189S, Mr. E. C. Smith or Marion, general agent for the Union Central Life Insurance company of Cincinnati, came down to Richwood for the purpose of writing a policy on the life of George H. Hamilton, since deceased.

When the policy was written at tbe Hamilton residence just north of town there were presert Georg- B. Hamilton George H. Hamilton, A. C. Worline, (one of Mr, Smith's agents) and Mr.

Smith hlmself.and all four gentlemen bsd apparently at that date, a good show to live many years. It Is a curious coincidence In connection with the history of this policy that of the four men above mentioned who were present when It was written three have died within the last six months, Mr. Smith being the only one of the four left alive today. This coincidence is a very convincing object lesson on the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death and one which should receive careful consideration from those having loved ones dependent upon them for subsistence. Below we reproduce a letter from Mrs.

Mabel T. Mamilton, the widow of George H.Hamilton and the beneficiary of his policy, in which she speaks in highly complimentary terms of the Union Central and the benefits of life insurance: Mrs. Hamilton's Letter. Wapakoneta, Sept 26th, 1900 Mr. E.

C.Smith. Marion, O. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt this day of draft for 1012.57, in full settlement of policy No. 170139, issued on the life of my late husbanu, George H. Hamilton, by the Union Central Life Insurance company.

I am under great obligations to your company for their promptness in this matter, end assufe you that I highly appreciate tho benefits ot life insurance. Yours truly, 1 Mabel T.
