            ________________________________________

                        PROXY STATEMENT
             FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                  TO BE HELD ON April 18, 2000


                            GENERAL

     This proxy statement is provided for the solicitation of
proxies by the board of directors of Commercial National
Financial Corporation (the corporation), a Pennsylvania business
corporation and bank holding company, for use at the annual
meeting of shareholders on April 18, 2000 and at any and all
adjournments or postponements thereof.  This proxy statement and
the form of proxy, together with the annual report to
shareholders for 1999, are being mailed on March 20, 2000, or as
soon thereafter as possible, to all shareholders entitled to vote
at the annual meeting.

     The only class of stock of the corporation presently issued
and outstanding is common stock.  The total number of shares of
common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting is 3,527,568
and only those shareholders of record at the close of business on
March 17, 2000 are entitled to vote.

     The shares of stock represented by each proxy properly
signed and returned to the corporation prior to the date of the
annual meeting, will be voted in the manner set forth in this
proxy statement and in accordance with the instructions marked on
the proxy enclosed.

     A shareholder who returns a proxy may revoke it at any time
before it is voted, by delivering a written notice of revocation
to Wendy  S. Schmucker,  secretary of  the corporation,  or  by
executing a later dated proxy and giving written notice thereof
to the secretary of the corporation, or by voting in person at the
meeting after giving written notice to the secretary of the
corporation.

     The cost of preparing, printing  and soliciting proxies will
be paid by the corporation.  In addition to the use of the mails,
certain directors, officers and employees of the corporation may
solicit proxies personally by telephone. Arrangements will be made
with brokerage houses and other custodians, fiduciaries and nominees
to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of
stock held of record by these persons, and, upon request therefore,
the corporation will reimburse them for reasonable forwarding
expenses.

     At the meeting, the shareholders will
 -   act upon the proposal to elect as directors the five persons set
     forth in this proxy statement each in a class of directors as set
     forth in the following pages;
 -   ratify the appointment of Stokes Kelly & Hinds, LLC as
     independent auditors for the corporation; and
 -   act upon any other business as may be properly brought before the
     meeting.

     The board of directors of the corporation recommends the
election, as directors, of the five  nominees listed in this
proxy statement.  The five  nominees receiving the highest number
of votes cast, including votes cast cumulatively, shall be elected
directors.  For all other purposes, other than election of
directors, each share of stock is entitled to one vote.

     Under the bylaws of the corporation, the presence, in
person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a
majority of the votes, which all shareholders are entitled to
cast, shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions will be counted as
present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that
neither are capable of being voted nor have been voted and,
accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on
the election of directors or on the outcome of the proposal to
ratify the appointment of Stokes Kelly & Hinds, LLC.

<PAGE>

                     ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The bylaws of the corporation provide that the board of
directors shall consist of not less than three  directors, and
shall be classified into three  classes, each class to be
elected for a term of three  years.  The board of directors,
within the limits set in the bylaws, may from time to time fix
the number of directors and the respective classifications.  The
number of directors to constitute the entire board has been fixed
by the board of directors at fifteen   with five  directors
in each of three  classes.  At the annual meeting, there shall
be elected five  directors as a class to serve until the
annual meeting of shareholders in the year 2003.  The proxies
intend to vote for the election of the nominees listed on the
proxy and in this proxy statement.  All of the nominees are now
and have been directors of the corporation and of Commercial
National Bank of Pennsylvania (the bank).

     Other nominations for director may be made in accordance
with procedures set forth in section 9.1 of the by-laws of the
corporation which require written notice to the secretary of the
corporation of any such nomination at least sixty  days prior
to the date of any meeting of the shareholders for the election
of directors.  Such notice shall contain the following information
to the extent known by the notifying shareholder:
    -   the name, address, and age of each proposed nominee;
    -   the principal occupation of each proposed nominee;
    -   the number of shares of the corporation owned by each
        proposed nominee;
    -   the total number of shares of the corporation that
        will be voted for each proposed nominee;
    -   the name and address of the notifying shareholder; and
    -   the number of shares of common stock of the corporation
        owned by the notifying shareholder.

     Nominations not made within the foregoing procedures may be disregarded
by the chairman at the annual shareholders' meeting.

     Each nominee has consented to be named and to serve as a
director, if elected.  If any nominee becomes unable to serve as
a director, the proxies named in the proxy will vote for a
substitute nominee selected and recommended by the board of
directors of the corporation.

     The names and ages of the nominees, and the year each
nominee began continuous service as a director of the
corporation, together with the principal occupation of each at
present and for at least the previous five  years, are as

                 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION REPORT

To Our Shareholders:

     Compensation for the executives of the corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, the bank, is set and paid at the bank
level.  The executive compensation committee had the
responsibility and authority to establish executive compensation
for 1999.

     The executive compensation committee is composed of three
independent non-employee directors, none of whom are former
officers of the corporation or the bank.  The committee is
responsible for setting executive officer salaries and
authorizing executive participation in the employee incentive
programs.  The following report describes the actions of the
committee regarding the compensation paid to the executive
officers by the bank during 1999.  No compensation was paid by
the corporation to its executive officers.

     The bank's executive salary structure is based upon
independent banking industry surveys which focus on banks similar
in size, scope and geographic region to the bank.  In addition,
the relative value of each management position to every other
management position is determined by the human resources
department.  Using this data, a base salary, midpoint and range
is established for each position.  The midpoint serves as a base
salary target for executives performing their jobs competently.
In general, the bank's base salary midpoints are above the median
of relevant competitive institutions.  Salary increases are based
on individual performance and actual salary level relative to the
midpoint of the incumbent's salary range.

     Salary decisions are based on performance criteria which
include the corporation's earnings over the previous five-year
period and the executive's success in managing risk, optimizing
income, controlling operating costs, improving service quality,
developing management leadership and strengthening the
institution's competitive position.  The committee also considers
the extent to which such goals as after-tax income as a
percentage of average total assets, annual total asset growth,
and the capital ratios were met.

     1999 was a transition year for the Bank's incentive program.
Two plans were in effect during 1999 - the first plan, combining
management incentive compensation and performance pay was in
effect from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. Effective
July 1, 1999, that plan was replaced by job-specific variable
compensation plans. The Incentive Plan for Key Executives was
developed to provide a more direct link between Bank performance
and a variable compensation opportunity for eligible participants
if the Bank meets or exceeds key financial measures. After Tax
Return on Average Assets and After Tax Net Earnings increase
targets for the Plan year. Thresholds of performance must be met
or exceeded before payouts occur from the Plan. Payouts cycles
occur on both quarterly and annual cycles. Payouts, if earned,
will be as a percentage of overall base salary earned either
during a quarter or during the year - up to 20% quarterly and up
to 8% annually.

     Executives also participate in the corporation's employee
profit sharing plan described elsewhere in the proxy statement.

     On December 8, 1998, the committee set the 1999
compensation for Louis A. Steiner, chairman and for Louis T.
Steiner, vice chairman, president and chief executive officer,
as shown in this proxy statement.

     The compensation reported consists of base salaries and other
compensation paid in 1999 and annual bonuses and profit sharing
earned in 1999 as determined by the bank's 1999 performance.

                    PROFIT SHARING PLAN

     The Employee Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the plan) of
the bank was created in 1977 and restated in 1984.  The plan
covers all employees who are employed for at least 1,000 hours
per year beginning on the first day of the month after completing
one year of service with the bank.  The amount to be contributed
is determined by the board of directors of the bank and is a
percentage of the net profits of the bank.  The total amount of
the annual contribution cannot exceed fifteen percent  of
the total eligible compensation paid by the bank to all
participating employees.  There are no contributions made by the
participating employees.

     The plan provides for the determination of an account for
each participating employee with notice of the amount in that
account to be given to the participating employee annually.
Distributions under the plan can be made to participating
employees upon retirement (either normal or early retirement as
defined in the plan), at death or disability of the participating
employee or upon severing employment if either partially or fully
vested.

     The plan provides for percentage vesting of 20 percent for
the first full three years of service increasing annually thereafter
to 100 percent vesting after seven  full years of participation. The
plan provides rules in the event it becomes top-heavy.  The funds
contributed into the plan by the bank will be administered and invested
by and under the discretion of the trustees (not less than three) who
are appointed by the directors of the bank.

     It is not possible to determine the extent of the benefits
which any participant may be entitled to receive under the plan
on the date of termination of employment, since the amount of
such benefits will be dependent, among other things, upon the
future earnings of the bank, the future compensation of the
participants and the future earnings under the plan.

 TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS, NOMINEES, OFFICERS AND ASSOCIATES

     In the ordinary course of its banking business, the bank has
and anticipates that it will continue to have transactions with
certain directors and officers of the corporation and the bank
and their associates.  To the extent such transactions consisted
of extensions of credit of any material amount, they have been
made in the ordinary course of the bank's business on
substantially the same terms including interest charged and
collateral required as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other customers of the bank and do
not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features.
