The First
National bank of Okeana was organized and opened for business on July
3, 1910.
Men of high standing in the community were instrumental in the organization of the bank which met a long-felt want as it was located in a community not of easy access to a city or village of any size where a banking institution was located. At the present time the bank commands resources of $256,757.62, while it has a capital of $25,000 and a reserve of $13,292.47. When the bank was first organized Charles Wagner was president; F.W. Earnshaw cashier; and J.A. Butterfield, Edwin Heap, G.W. Jefferies, J.J. Boutcher and Frank George directors. On January 9, 1919 F.W. Earnshaw the cashier died; and on May 13, 1919 Charles Wagner the president, died. J.A. Butterfield was then elected president; R.E. Earnshaw cashier; W.R. Wagner assistant cashier; and G.E. Jefferies, G.E. Handley, Fred Walthers, and Edwin Heap, directors. (Page 466) Memoirs of the
