Apparently they merged into People's Security, and then People's Security merged into Monumental Life. So I hope if the policy was still inforce, that Monumental Life below can help you (go to their website).
they merged with another company in 1995:

As long as the policy was in force at the time of the insureds death you can place a claim. Simply contact the agent who will be happy to assist you or contact the claim department directly at the insurance company.

Every life insurer has seperate death claim cell. In case of death claim, the incharge of the cell has to be contacted for the needful.

Sure, if the policy is still in force and a claim was never made on the policy before. It is surprising that no one had filed the claim before. Just because you found an old life insurance policy in a box doesn't mean it wasn't claim previously. The executor of the estate would have had the obligation to search records and files and make claims on any active life insurance policies. Even if they didn't have the policy, they could have signed a proof of lost policy form and filed the claim on the policy after death. It's worth checking with the company for to make sure. If it is still active they will pay interest in addition to the death benefits.
It is mandatory to submit the original policy bond along with other claim papers both in death and maturity claims.
Generally the claim has to be lodged on the branch of the life insurer which issued the policy bond, be it maturity or death claim as the case may be.
it depends on the policy - you need to read it and see what it says.
