The second company to merger was Franklin-Oak Creek Mutual Ins. co. which had been started in 1880. These two companies merger in 1977. At the time of the merger, the name was changed to Raymond-Franklin-Oak Creek Mutual Ins. Co. The third company to join was Caledonia Town Mutual, which was founded in 1875. This final merger was in 1984 and thus the company became Racine County Mutual Insurance Co.

From 1873 to the early 1900's the president and secretary traveled by horse and buggy to view, adjust, and settle wach loss. This was very time consuming and was one of the reasons why the town mutual insurance company stayed small and remained as local as possible.

Racine County Mutual Ins. Co. remains located in Franksville, Wi located in Racine County. There are six directors: Randy Peterka (President and Treasurer), Jim Helding (Vice President), Lee Fuhrman (Secretary), and Gilbert Hagemann, Barbara Welch, and Robert Grove as board members.
