The claim was paid to his wife, Henrietta Mayer, and totaled $698.58. In 2024, payments and benefits to members totaled $1.52 billion.

Did you know life insurance has roots in Ancient Rome? Back in 100 B.C., Roman burial clubs helped families cover funeral costs - one of the earliest forms of life insurance! Fast forward to the 1800s, fraternal benefit societies were formed to support families after the loss of a breadwinner. That same spirit inspired Joseph Cullen Root to found Modern Woodmen in 1883. We continue that legacy by helping families protect what matters most. https://www.modernwoodmen.org/about-us/what-we-are/finding-roots-in-ancient-rome/
