JOSIAH A. SMALL
Josiah Appleton Small, cashier of the First National Bank of Victor, was born in Bangor, Maine, Sep 25, 1855. Josiah A., was reared in Portland, where he attended the public schools to his seventeenth year. He then accepted a clerical position in one of the book stores of that city, which he filled for ten years. In 1881 he came west as far as Chicago, and, after a brief sojourn in the great metropolis, pushed on, accompanied by two Portland friends, to Gunnison, Colorado. In the latter place he engaged in the book business, as a member of the firm of Eaton, Small & Co., and resided there until 1884. Then removing to Aspen, this State, he opened a branch store in the same business, which he conducted until 1890. In that year, under President Harrison's administration, Mr. Small was appointed postmaster at Aspen, which office he resigned in the following year, however, to enter a clerkship in the First National Bank of Aspen. Capably performing the duties of this position for nearly two years, in the fall of 1892 he was made assistant cashier of the Aspen National Bank, a new organization. His employment in the higher capacity, however, proved of short duration, for in the ensuing year the bank went into voluntary liquidation.
In 1895 Mr. Small changed his residence to Victor, and for a time after locating there he filled an official position in the Victor Banking Company's bank. Then, abandoning the banking business temporarily, he became connected, in 1897, with the Woods Investment Company, one of the large mine-owning syndicates of Colorado. His present position as cashier of the First National Bank of Cripple Creek he has held since the organization of that institution in 1899.
In politics Mr. Small adheres to the doctrines of the now dominant party, in which he acquired confidence at an early age, his father being one of the staunchest of Republicans. In financial business Mr. Small evinces a high order of ability. He is energetic, ambitious and devoted to his work, and being still in the heyday of his prime, he has before him a fair prospect of further promotions in his chosen and favorite line of banking. Mr. Small married, in 1887, the oldest daughter of I.W. Chatfield. Mr. Chatfield is one of the pioneers of Colorado, having crossed the plains in a "prairie schooner" at the close of the Civil War in 1865.
