Stree the bank was organized,
its home town has had three
names: the first was derived
from a combination of the names
of the proprietors Of the two
taverns here before the railroad
was built. and was known as the
town Of Blacks & Whites. Later
it adopted the name of Belle
fonte. but was soon forced to
give up that name because Of
the confusion Of railroad ship
ments. due to the fact that an
other town had been m d
Bellefonte. The name Of Black
stone was selected not so much
to honor the great English jurist
as to permit the people to con-
tinue to call the town Blacks"
as had been their custom for
years.
During the existence of the
bank it has occupied five build
ings. 1t rented the first two and
has built itself three homes. The
first location was in the store of
Dickers0n and Parrack. on what
is now West Broad Street; the
second was in a one story frame
house. for which it paid less than
$500 per month rent. In 1881
it built and occupied the build
ing to the right Of billiard Craw-
ley Hardware Company's north
front. In 1893 it erected tn e
building which is now occupied
by VIM Brothers Furniture
Company. This building was re-
modelled in 1907 at a cost of
S5.000.00 including new safe and
marble fixtures. The building in
which the bank is now located
was built in 1921 and it was
about this time that the name
was changed to Citizens Bank
and Trust Company.
When the bank opened for
business in 1873 in the store Of
DlckersOn & Parrack. with Mr..
Parrack serving as cashier. the
bank was operated in room
IN the rear Of the store where
the money was kept in a cigar

around for more than a hundred
years, getting more elaborate
with each retelling. Briefly,
though, there's how this particu-
lar legend began. One Franz
Loher in 1847 alleged that a mo-
ton was made before the State
Assembly Of Pennsylvania (not
t h e Continental Congress) to
make German the legal langu-
age of the State. The vote, &C.
cording to Loher, was one half
for German, one half for En-
ghsh. The Speaker then cast the
deciding vote-for English.
The story flouriShed and was
widely believed, but in 1881 Otto
Lohr tracked the tale down and
found, In H. L. Mencken s
words, that it was "a fable
based on a misunderstanding. "
What had actually happened
was that In 1894 when Congress
was in session in Philadelphia,
a motion was introduced to ena-
BILE publication Of some of the
new laws In German as well as
English for the guidance Of i'm

you answered a question as to
why English was chosen to be
the language of the United

peatedly said that there was a
vote taken in the Continental
Congress to decide between
German and English as the ma
tional language, that German
lost by only one vote, and that

me but our daughter who is
