Companies Retired and Remaining. The last Report presented the statements of thirty-six Life, Casualty, and Accident Insurance Companies author- ized to transact business in Massachusetts. Three have since retired ; and, of the thirty-three remaining, twenty-seven are doing a life, and six a casualty and accident, business. With these we include the Travelers' of Hartford, in both classifi- cations, life and accident ; and, adding the Massachusetts Hospital Life, now a Trust Company, there will be found thirty-four annual statements in the following pages. The Companies retired are the Hartford Life and Annuity, ; March 7, 1881 the Phoenix Life of Hartford, Dec. 28, 1880 ; and the National Life of the United States, Dec. 11, 1880, the retirement of the Phoenix being its own voluntary act. The Hartford Life and Annuity. Mention was made in the last Report from this Depart- ment that the Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Com- pany had been restricted to the transaction in Massachusetts of its regular life business, for which only it was admitted to the State. The restriction was compelled by its deliberate disregard of statutory requirement and obligation, particu- larly in connection with its cooperative annex, " Safety Fund Department," so called, though in many respects art- fully deceptive and less meritoriou's than the most ordinary viii REPORT OF THE cooperative scheme, and therefore in the worst sense repug- nant to the statute of 1872, chap. 325, sect. 7. In the process of evading this law, the enactment of which was the outcome of a decision of the Supreme Judicial Court (see Commonwealth v. Wetherbee, Mass. Reports, vol. 105, p. 149), the Company defiantly and boastingly pro- cured for its purpose the incorporation in this State of a branch, or agency, through which it might with impunity continue its illegal business. In this proceeding, advantage was taken of legislative generosity in granting special priv- ileges to associations, and societies organized under the laws of Massachusetts for educational, religious, charitable, and other purposes; but it was a bold assumption of privilege by the Company, never intended or even contemplated by the Legislature, and in no sense sanctioned by its enactment. Nor was the Company's course justified or palliated in the slightest degree by the subsequent investigation of its affairs before a Committee of the Connecticut Legislature, which resulted in settling nothing of practical importance, except, perhaps, that the subject-matter most involved was more of a judicial than of a legislative character. But, as the final result of its open and very manifest violation of the terms of its license and of the laws of this State, the Company's authorit}" to transact further business therein was wholly revoked. In justice to gentlemen named among the corporators of its Massachusetts Branch, and to any others, it is not supposable that all were aware of .the animus and purpose prompting the inception of this scheme. That such was the fact, personal explanations have given unqualified assurance. We need only to add, that when, in a spirit of liberality and beneficence, the Legislature extended special and important privileges and exemptions to the class of organizations re- ferred to, it was not for a moment supposed that any such advantage would be sought, or that its action would be made a cloak for the violation or evasion of other statutes. The very thought is preposterous. Were it even technically warranted, which is not the fact, then the sooner effectual modification or repeal follows, the better will it be for the protection of citizens of the Commonwealth. ! INSURANCE COMMISSIONER. ix The National of the United States. The authority of the National Life Insurance Company of the United States to transact business in Massachusetts has also ceased during the year. The reported questionable manipu- lation of its assets, in regard to which information was asked, but withheld by its officers, and the equally questionable procedure of pretended agents to frighten its policy-holders into a surrender of their claims for a fraction of their value, was a sufficient forfeiture of its right to do business. The "freezing-out " process adopted by the Company in this and other States is ojiscreditable and heartless in the extreme, and is damaging almost beyond estimate the interests of legitimate life insurance. Policy-holders have rights as well as Com- panies, and such rights are entitled to equitable recognition. But when the reasonable comities of business are ignored, and policy-holders literally robbed under cover of the flimsiest of technicalities and pretences, the provocation of distrust and condemnation should occasion no surprise. The Continental Life. In the last Report to the Legislature it was stated that the authority of the Continental Life of Hartford, Conn., to transact new business in Massachusetts had been revoked, " because of incorrect statements of its assets and liabilities, — the former having been largely overstated, and the latter considerably understated, — its actual condition showing such impairment as to compel the action reluctantly taken by this Department." Although the fullest measure of leniency and delay which propriety and courtesy could possibly warrant was extended in all good-will towards the Company, as both record and correspondence abundantly show, yet its repre- sentatives have busily promulgated the statement that the revocation was prompted by personal considerations, and that the Department has now come to see that it made a mistake It is only necessary to say that neither assertion bears the slightest shadow of truth. The revocation was demanded by law, and became all the more imperative upon the Company's own admission of incorrect returns. The treatment of its policy-holders, not a whit more justifiable than that adopted by the Knickerbocker, the Charter Oak, the National of the b x REPORT OF THE United States, the just exploded Universal Life, and some others, all of them heretofore excluded from the State at various dates, gave additional reason for retiring the Conti- nental. The only mistake, if such it can be termed, was delay in final action. An Encouraging Retrospect. It was stated in the last Report, that seven of the Life Companies from other States authorized in Massachusetts in 1853 were still occupying the field, their aggregate business having increased in amount insured from $65,984,071 at the beginning of 1853 to $666,392,463 at the commencement of 1880, — an increase of more than tenfold ; and in amount of admitted assets at corresponding dates, from $6,821,942 to $194,724,578, — an increase

  • Fort Niagara – 1759-1815
    Fort Niagara – 1759-1815 Introduction: Fort Niagara was a French fortification built in 1726-27 to protect the interests of New France in North America, and is situated on a bluff on the east side of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario north of Youngstown, NY. The French had earlier built two less substantial forts at the site: Fort Conti, built by Cavalier de La Salle in 1679 and Fort Denonville, built by Governor Denonville in 1687. Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry designed the impressive stone-constructed "French Castle," which survives today. Fort Niagara was surrendered to the British in July 1759 following a nineteen-day siege and the wilderness battle of La Belle Famille. The three flags flown daily above the parade ground symbolize the nations that have held Fort Niagara. Each competed for the support of a fourth nation: the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. The history of Fort Niagara spans more than 300 years. During the colonial wars in North America a fort at the mouth of the Niagara River was vital, for it controlled access to the Great Lakes and the westward route to the heartland of the continent. With the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, however, the strategic value of Fort Niagara diminished. It nonetheless remained an active military post well into the 20th century. The Battle of Fort Niagara, 1759: The Battle of Fort Niagara was a siege late in the French and Indian War, the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War. The British siege of Fort Niagara in July 1759 was part of a campaign to remove French control of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions, making possible a western invasion of the French province of Canada in conjunction with General James Wolfe's invasion to the east.

There is a companion book about my father, Max Schwartz, titled “MAX SCHWARTZ & WWII LETTERS”. This book is an amalgamation of multiple stories that I have written and gathered separately over the years so it has a somewhat strange structure. I have chosen to combine these multiple writings into one book so that anyone who inherits this has a lot of family history put together in one place. I am writing this primarily for those who come after me, my daughter (Jennifer Ann Schwartz McClain) and now my granddaughters (Sabrina McClain & Natalie McClain). Chapter 1 is the story of my mother, Myra Newman, whose family ran a farm in Phelps, NY. They had a hard time when their father died in 1935 during the “Great Depression”.
