On March 2, 1857 (167 years ago), Northwestern Mutual was founded as the Mutual Life Insurance Company of the State of Wisconsin. Originally located in Janesville, Wisconsin, the fledgling company relocated to Milwaukee in 1859. Shortly after, the company experienced its first two death claims, when an excursion train traveling from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to Chicago derailed, killing 14 people, two of whom were policy owners. With losses amounting to US$3,500 (equivalent to $119,000 in 2023), while the company possessed only US$2,000 in funds (equivalent to $68,000 in 2023), company President Samuel Daggett and Treasurer Charles Nash personally lent the money to pay the claims immediately, making up the difference of US$1,500 (equivalent to $51,000 in 2023).
