The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, November 14, 1907 MR. IKE WOODS, of Washington Township, a few days before the First National Bank of Chariton, was closed by the death of the cashier, FRANK CROCKER, purchased a draft of that bank for $1,550. He took this draft and went to Nebraska, and having purchased a farm in that State, turned over the draft as part payment. The draft was turned in by the Nebraska party but did not reach Chariton until last Thursday, the day the bank was closed, and of course was not cashed. Whether it will be good in time, partly or wholly, is not known at this time, but one thing is certain and that is it will be considerable time before the bank affairs will be straightened out so that the value of this draft can be known and the probabilities are that the trade will fall through on account of the delay. It was certainly an unfortunate affair for MR. WOODS. -- CORYDON TIMES REPUBLICAN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 18, 2004 [email protected]
