Such emergency fund, or any part thereof, may be used for the payment of death and indemnity claims; provided, that if the amount of such fund be thereby reduced below the amount contemplated in this chapter, the amount by which such fund is reduced be made up and restored within six (6) months thereafter. Such fund may be held in cash or invested in the same class of securities required by law for the investment of funds by insurance corporations, and nothing contained in this chapter shall prevent the creation and accumulation of other funds in excess of the amount required in this chapter to provide for the purposes of such corporation, association, or society.
