content: In the nineteenth and twentieth century, bank customers had small books that recorded the money added to and withdrawn from their accounts, as well as balances. This manuscript bankbook belonged to John F. Kern (1805-1886), a merchant in Germantown, Ohio. Kern was among the founders of the First National Bank of Germantown when it was established in 1863, and served as its first president for nineteen years. This notebook records Kern’s transactions between February 12, 1875 and July 26, 1886.
