Insurance Policy Weaves War Tale Of Family In Turmoil
A Cedar Rapids life insurance policy becomes the thread linking Clarence Page's family to wartime hardship. After Page dies in 1931, his widow Madeleine and children June Betty and Rex face displacement from Iowa to Guernsey and Jersey, then London, as World War II unfolds. The insurer, through agent Leon Zoeckler, works to release part of the policy to support the London bound children amid air raids and uncertainty about their mother’s fate.
