HON. FRANK J. LANGER, cashier of the First National Bank of Casselton, is a gentleman of rare ability and the intricate affairs of the institution with which he is connected are successfully attended by him. He has been identified with the development and advancement of the social and financial interests of Cass county for nearly a quarter of a century and has always had the welfare of his adopted country uppermost in his mind. He has gained a high position and is worthy the confidence reposed in him.
Our subject was born near Prague, Germany, August 22, 1849, and was a son of Franz and Rosa (Miller) Langer, both natives of Germany. The family came to America in 1852 and located at Watertown, Wisconsin, and later moved to Plainview, Minnesota, where the mother died and the father still resides. Three sons and one daughter were born to this worthy couple, two of whom are now in Cass county, North Dakota.
Our subject was reared and educated in Wisconsin and Minnesota and followed farming in the last named state until 1877, when he went to Cass county, North Dakota, and entered claim to land near Casselton, which he improved and he now owns and operates four sections of land in that vicinity. He became a director in the First National Bank of Casselton in 1894, and was elected to the position of cashier about the same time and is now ably filling the same.
Our subject was married, in 1874, to Miss Mary Webber, a native of Germany. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Langer. Mr. Langer was elected to the legislature in 1890 and served one term in the lower house and was efficient in his work for the interest of his constituents. He was elected county commissioner of Cass county in 1892 and served six years and has also filled many minor offices, including town clerk and chairman of the town board. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and has been a member of the Masonic order for many years. Politically, he is a Republican and is an earnest worker for party principles and lends his influence for good government.
Frank was the son of Franz & Rosa Miller Langer.
