The company 're-insured the sickness and accident business of Liberty Life Insurance Company and thereby assumed those lines of insurance.' Some of 'those lines of insurance' predate the founding of Independence by several years, one insurance policy in particular dates back to 1890. Other records include accident claims, annual statements, information on Southeastern Life Insurance Company, The Liberty Life Insurance Company policies, payment and rate books, stocks and stockholders information, and cash books, journals, ledgers, and trial balance books. Legal Case files make up the majority of this collection's records. Claimants include: Walter Alexander, Ellen Dingle, Lee Dubose, John Edwards, M.M. Jarrett, John and Ella McKnight, Julia Ann President, and Rosanna Prioleau. Of interest is a 1932 letter from Senator James F. Byrnes concerning WIS Radio.
