BANKS AND BANKING: By Oliver J. Bailey.
Messrs. N. B. Curtiss & Co established themselves in a distinctive banking business here in 1851, locating at the upper corner of Main and Water Streets, and for many years conducted a large and prosperous business. For a time this concern seems to have had some connection with George Smith, the noted financier of Chicago, as they are reputed to have put in circulation large amounts of the notes of the Marine and Fire Insurance Company, of Milwaukee, and of Georgia banks (chiefly the issues of the Cherokee Bank, of Dalton, Georgia), in which Mr. Smith was interested. This bank prospered for a time, but suspended during the panic year of 1857. Out of this enterprise, however, grew the First National Bank of Peoria, the first National banking institution in the city...
FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
Chronologically considered, the oldest existing banking institution in Peoria, in its present organization, was the outgrowth of conditions existing in the first years of the Civil War, and the enactment of the National Banking Act b y Congress in 1863. In 1851, Nathaniel B. Curtiss and his brother, Pliny Curtiss (under the firm name of N. B. Curtis s & Co.), opened up a private banking business at the upper corner of Main and Water Streets, and for a time did a large business, during which they appear to have put in circulation large amounts of the issues of the Marine and Fire Insurance Company, of Milwaukee, and the Cherokee Bank, of Georgia, for the redemption of which Mr. Curtiss made himself responsible. About 1857, Curtiss & Co. removed to the building now occupied by the First National Bank of Peoria, at No. 200 Main Street, which had been erected in the interim by Mr. Curtiss. Owing to the panic of the latter year, a run was made upon the Curtiss bank, which resulted in its suspension for a time, though it appears to have re-opened at a later date for a short period. About 1858 or 1859, Marshall P. Stone and Thaddeus S. Ely appear to have been doing business as bankers at the location of the Curtiss Bank, though it evidently continued for only a short time, as we find in 1860 that Marshall P. Stone, William F. Bryan and George H. Stone commenced a banking business under the firm name of M. P. Stone & Co., in the Curtiss building. Three years later the last' named firm sold out to the First National Bank of Peoria, which was organized under the National Banking Law on November 23, 1863, with a capital of $150,000, owned by forty-two stockholders. The largest individual stock-holders in the original organization were Tobias S. Bradley, Nathaniel B. Curtiss and Richard Gregg, of Peoria, and James H. McCall, of Canton, Fulton county. Mr. Bradley held 270 shares of stock, and the other three 200 shares each. The first Board of Directors, elected November 25, consisted of Tobias S. Bradley, Richard Gregg, Nathaniel B. Curtiss, Hervey Lightner, John L. Griswold, John C. Proctor, Louis Green, Thomas S. Dobbins and Robert, A. Smith, and a few days later Mr. Bradley was chosen President, and Mr. Curtiss, Cashier. The bank opened its doors for business, January 6, 1864, and has been in operation ever since.
