Fort Wayne depot. He was engaged
there as man of all work.
He, in fact, did every honest thing
which came to his hand, having a name
and a fortune to make by his own exer-
tions. In 1858 he entered the service of
the Merchants Loan & Trust Company
bank as bookkeeper, at the munifcent
salary of $500 per annum. Shortly after
he was promoted to the position of pay
ing teller. In 1850 he was made assist
ant cashier. The next year he was
cashier, and some years later was ap-
pointed cashier of the First national
bank.
Of his subsequent career it can only
be said that his capabilities and indus
try brought him mp round by round to
the top of the ladder. In 1882 he was
vice president Of the First national
bank, and in July, 1891, WIS selected
its president. He was for several years
president of the American Bankers
association. A few months since he
was elected president Of the board OF
directors for the worlds fair. hllt was
