Obituary - James H. Fonda - This gentleman, well known to the citizens of New York as President of the Mechanics Banking Association, died on Saturday last at his residence in Brooklyn, after a long and severe illness. Mr. Fonda was born at Poughkeepsie, in this State, and from his first entrance into business was connected with banking institutions. He first entered the Dutchess County Bank in the capacity of teller and was afterwards promoted to the position of cashier. After leaving this institution he connected himself with the Merchants Bank of Poughkeepsie, and was employed in that establishment until his removal to New York in 1850, when he was elected cashier of the Mechanics Banking Association.
