Recently, while clearing out my mother-in-laws home (she moved to an assisted living facility - age 90), I ran across an old insurance policy that was taken out by her 2nd husband in 1922 at age 18. It was paid up in 1942. The policy has the application also which includes an immense amount of information, such as: birthdate, parents names, beneficiary names (first, his mother, then his first wife) parents names and ages of both the young man's father and mother with medical information about what they died from, if not still living, brothers and sisters if any, places of birth and death, how long sick and previous health status. I don't remember seeing notices on the lists I've belonged to about this source of information. It was signed by a doctor, also. My only regret is that it is not for my mother-in-law's first husband.
