Company History
We believe our past has prepared us for a strong future. Our founders were innovators who created one of the first mutual life insurance companies in the country and the first with a national vision. The company’s first death claim – that of Rowland Allen who died in 1850 while seeking fortune in the California Gold Rush – pushed National Life Insurance Company to its limits. The young company did not have the assets to pay the claim but the directors knew their company was doomed if they failed to pay. With the cooperation of a local bank and the personal credit backing of the directors, they came up with the money. National Life’s president personally delivered the $1,000 payment to the grieving but grateful widow.
