State Bank of Nebraska, while the late
Frank Murphy succeeded w. d. Morton.
brother of the late ]. Sterling Morton, as
president of the same bank holding that
position with the Merchants National until
the time of his death last year. The Mer-
chants National bank has been known by
that name since October 2, 1882.
The Commercial National bank one OF
the younger of Omaha's financial institu-
tions, was established May /. 1884, by the
late Ezra Millard, who was the first presi-
dent of the bank. Two years after the
Commercial National was established tho
banking row.
After long years of service with the First
National bank Henry T. Yates established
the Nebraska National bank with A. f.
Touzalin. April %, 1882, with paid up
capital of s25OO0O. In 1881 Mr.. Touzalin
was appointed vice president of the Chi
cago. Burlington 81 quincy Railroad COM
pany and later president of the Chicago,
Burlington & Northern Railroad company,
since bought by the Burlington system.
Omaha has had other banks of various
kinds and at various times. Some of those
have been forgotten while time in it's flight
is fast healing the wounds caused by others.
Out of the years it can be said that Omaha
has reared a great financial establishment
that is q credit to the city and state and
to those who had given of their brains and
energy.

First of National BANKS.

The First National bank owes its exist
ence to the Kountze brothers, August, Her
man, Luther and Charles. who established
themselves in a small store on the north
side OF Farnam street, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets, soon to move east
where the Nebraska National bank is now
On the windows Of the little old bank were
the letters: Exchange Bought and Sold"
Gold Dust and Government Vouchers
Bought" In 1863 the First National bank
was organized with Edward Creighton,
president; Herman Kountze. vice president;
Augustus Kountze, cashier; H. w. Yates,
assistant cashier. The business of the
Kountze Bros bank and the First Ma
tional were merged and in 1856 moved into
a two-story brick building at Thirteenth
and Farnam streets, on the site where the
present large buildings was erected In 1885,
The present site of the First National
bank was occupied many years ago by q
two-story frame hotel, kept by Landlord
Vergus, and was the place where the Ger
man farmers stopped when they came to
town. 1t was known as the Farmers
Home" and sported large and commodi-
Gus stable in the rear, next to tho alley. At
Omaha daily bee., 1905-07-02

Each of Omaha's banking institutions has
a history peculiar to itself. The United
States National bank is the oldest estab-
institution being the old firm of Barrows.
Mlllard & Co, which located during 1856 on
Harvey street to soon after move into the
two-story building previously occupied by
the Western Exchange Fire and Marine
company at Twelfth and Farnam street,
and a reproduction of which building Is
given, showing the sign of Caldwell Ham
ilton & Co., to which name the firm was
changed in 1868. Many Of the younger gen.
Grafton living in Omaha today can remem-
Der the old Caldwell, Hamilton & Co. bank
eighteen year ago to give way for the
splendid structure that now covers the site
The original firm of Barrows Millard &
Co included Willard Barrows, Ezra Millard
j. II. Mlllard and S. s. Caldwell. The firm
name was changed to Millard, Caldwell &
Co. in 1865, when C. w. Hamilton, pre-
