MiadzefeH Bank Reports Deposits
Increase of Over One Million Dollars

President Hugh G.. johnson re-
ported on the fine showing the
Bank has made through the
years with total assets now
reaching nearly $4,000,000.O0.
The records show that the Bank
has increased it's resources by
81, 900, 100000 during the last two
years. Mr.. johnson thanked Mr..
McClurg and his staff for the
efficient manner in which the
Bank is managed, contributing
so much in giving our commun-
tiles excellent banking service.
Mr.. McClurg made a detailed
report of the activities of the
Bank showing its healthy con-
dltlon, and also stated that
outlook was good for another
successful year.
The following resolution was
passed pertaining to the death
of Vice President, Mr.. VIM. H.
Cromwell:
Resolved, That in the death
of our beloved Vice President
and Director, Mr.. VIM. H.
Cromwell, our bank has sus-
tanned a great loss of an Offic-
ial who was a charter member
of our bank and who for fifty
years served the bank faith
fully and contributed greatly to
The Geauga Republican-record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1922-1952, 1952-01-31

its success and growth. His
counsel and advice was always
reliable, and he was ever ready
to lend helping hand to
those in need of the services
of our bank. Resolved further,
That in the death of Mr.. Crom-
well not only our bank but
our entire county has sustained
a great loss. There will always
remain in the minds of those
who knew him fond remem-
brance for his many deeds of
kindness, and for his leader
ship as a Commissioner that
contributed so much to the
development and growth of our
county. In his life Mr.. Crorn-
well set an example for ideal
citizenship which will long be
cherished by all who knew
him.
Resolved, That while we
thus express our sense of deep
loss in the death of our asso-
ciate and friend, we extend to
his wife and family our deep
est sympathy and our desire
to be of service to them in
any way possible. Resolved,
That these resolutions be re-
corded in the minutes of the
meeting and that a copy be
sent to Mrs. Cromwell"

excellent music.

Lightning Sets
Flame, Destroys
Wagner Barn

A bolt of lightning, unusual for
this time of year, set fire and destroy
ed a 80 by 40 foot barn on the
Leonard Henry farm, half mile west
of the intersection of route BON and
route 60 in Hancock county early II.
the evening Sunday.
Bluffton fremen were summoned to
the blaze and under the direction of
Fire Chief Guy Corson joined Ada
firemen in protecting the farm resi-
dence and garage less than 200 feet
from the flaming barn, which collaps-
ed in shower of embers 20 minutes
after the lightning hit.
The farm is occupied by Robert
Wagner, who was just about to
stretch out on a bed when the bolt
struck. He was knocked on the bee
as all the lights in the house wen,
out.
The lightning also struck at the
Dean Dearth home, a quarter mile
further east. Wiring in the house
caught fire but disaster was prevented
by pulling fuses.
The Wagner barn contained 80 tons
Bluffton, for Mrs. Louise Anderson,
several pieces of farm equipment. A
valuable bull burned with the barn.
