possibly--but with all cash acquisitions, the stock certificate in the old company is worthless as cash was paid for the stock. in all-stock acquisitions you would normally have possibly replaced your old stock with the new stock by sending to the transfer agent involved in the acquisition.
Public Service of Colorado -- 30 (common) approx 1973 or 1974. don't remember when I sold it.
Might can be settled with one or two phone calls. It was a 10 pay life so there is a good chance mother bought it and paid it up before turning it over to him. He puts it in a drawer and then forgets about it. If it is still in force, the death benefit will be $250 plus 17 years interest. There is also a good possibility that the funds have been turned over to the unclaimed property division of the state of residence.
I wonder if other companies with “Liberty” in their name reap any benefits from their former popularity. When I lived in Virginia, I led with Settlers Life, but referred to them as “Settlers Life & Huff-Cook”. (We were still able to write some Huff-Cook paper at the time.) Mentioning Huff-Cook seemed to produce “warm fuzzies” in the local seniors. “Liberty” might have the same effect in SC, even if it’s not the same company.
