BANKS.
NoRTHRUP,s BANK.


This solid institution, and the old
est one of it's kind in the county, was
established by the late Levi l.. Nor
thrup in 1869 and was personally con-
Quoted by him until his death. 1t
WAS one of only three banks in
Kansas that passed through the
crash of 1873 uuscathed. Since
March of the present year the bank
has been managed by his heirs, who
enjoy the same general confidence OF
the public that had so long been ex-
tended to the father. Northrup's
bank has capital of S25,0 900 which is
backed up by individual responsibility
of $500, OO0. General banking business
on safe and legitimate lines is carried
on and it enjoys a large patronage.
The present officers are Mary E. Nor
thrup, president; +, A. NOrthrup,
vice president; ID. p NOrthrup, sec
Ond vice president; J. H. Vannuys,
cashier; l.. l.. NOrthrup, assistant
cashier.
AS prominent and successful bust
ness man Mr. Northrup ranked first
in the county and of the foremost in
the state. He possessed great ability,
rugged honesty and steadineSs of pur-
pose. His interests were very large
and varied, and at the time of his
death he was very wealthy. He en-
joyed the confidence of his fellow citi-
zens in the fullest measure and al
ways proved himself worthy of it.
He was born at Geneseo, n. Y, in
1919, and when quite young man
learned the wooden manufacturing
business. He continued in this line
in his native state and Indiana In
1862 he removed to Geneva, in this
county, where he established a store,
purchased land, and soon became
prominent. \ few years later he re-
moved to lola where he made many
in business enterprises
ali of which were successful. His
death in March 1896 was very much
by the entire community.
BANK OF ALLEN COUNTY.
This bank was established in 1885
by George A BOwlus and w. NJ.
Hartman. 1t rapidly acquired the
of the people and as bust
ness enterprise has been highly sue
cessful. 1t operates under capital
of $4,000 and transacts a general
banking business on safe lines. The
present officers are Geo. A. Bowlus,
president and Thomas H Bowlus,
cashier. Mir Geo. A Bowlus is a ma
tive of Maryland and came to lola in
1868. His record is one of many OBJ
stacles encountered and overcome.
He was for many years engaged in
the real estate business and gradually
worked himself TO the front by per-
sistent energy and square dealing,
until he has become one of the fore
most citizens of the county.
