The growth and history of the Com pany has paralleled the development of the United States. 'Many of the forty-niners who went to California were insured in the New York Life, but the overland trip across the Uni ted States was so hazardous that, prior ta I860; the only routes to the gold regions sanction^ by the Com pany were around Cape Horn or across the Isthmus of Panama. The Company had done business in the South since organization and dur ing the. Civil Whr it faced -the diffi cult task of fulfilling its obligations in the war-stricken areas. At one time, in order to expedite the i>ay- ment of death claims, correspondence was carried through the lines under a flag of truce. Following the Civil War a number of Confederate leaders were attached to the Company and Joined its agency organisation. Less than two years before the Custer massacre, General Caster and five fellow officers insured in the New York Life. The Company paid 140,000 to their beneficiaries. Seven former Presidents of the Uni ted States were insured in the New Yorir Ltfe^ur the time of thefr deaths. President Garfield had paid the first premium on a 128,000 policy only a few months before his assassination in 1881. Two former Presidents, Cal vin Coolldge and Herbert Hoover, served on the Company's Board of Directors. Alfred B. Smith, former Governor of,the State of New-York, was a Director at the time of his — paSy I ring the past century the Com pany has paid over six billion dollars to policyholders' and beneficiaries.
