Cattle Bank

I don't have the date this picture was taken but the little , 1 story bld'g under construction was Cattle Nation Bank. It opened on July 14, 1951 after moving from the north side of the square. The new bank building replaced The Evans and Hagemoser Grocery store on the corner. Siedel Jewelry store had the white front next to the Hinky Dinky Grocery store managed by Mo Moravec. Our SCS office was located on the 1st floor in the NE corner of the Courthouse. My '41Chevy is shown parked on the east side .

Cattle Bank made several additions to this small beginning on the east side of the square. It culminated in the late 1990's when the current facility was built. The bank had acqired all the property on the east side of the square up to the Feary (Duerr) and Helmick buildings.
