Rosemary, I found the following information in Middletown a Biography by Franklin B. Williams, page 188. "In the hectic days following the Civil War, banks sprang up wholesale. In April 1866, were given the finishing touches to the act chartering the Middletown Savings Bank. There the matter was allowed to stand, until 1869, when a group of citizens threatened to, and actually took preliminary steps to establish a similar institution. The old firm became active. An amendment to the original act was passed May 1, 1869, extending the time of the charter, and the bank was incorporated by the following: Elisha P. WHEELER, Jonathan M. MATTHEWS, Josua DRAPER, Osmer B. WHEELER, David C. WINFIELD, William EVANS, Benjamin W. SHAW, Hiram BRINK, Hiland H. HUNT, John W. BAIRD, William M. BRAHAM, James B. HULSE, john G. WILKIN, Horation R. WILCOX, Charles H. HORTON, Gilbert O. HULSE, Harvey EVERETT, Daniel C. DUSENBERRY, Henry B, DILL, Henry B. OGDEN N, Linus B. BABCOCK, Stephen S. CONKLING, George L. DENTON, William H. McQUOID, Levi STARR, John H. BELL, Coe ROBERTSON, Selah R. CORWIN, Dorastus B. IRWIN, Robert H. HOUSTON, Rufus D. CASE, Leander CRAWFORD, Ira M. CORWIN, James J. MILLS, William W. REEVE, Lewis ARMSTRONG, Albert R. RUSSELL, M. Lewis CLARK, Charles HORTON, Archibald L. VAIL, Uzal T. HAYES, and E. M. MADDEN. The bank opened for business September 5, 1869, in the Denton Store building at the Square. Stoddard S. DRAPER, son of Joshua DRAPER, was first depositor. DRAPER was the first president. In six months deposits reached $100,000." Hope this helped you Rosemary, and maybe some others will find familiar names. Sharon HORTON, BULL, KNAPP, EDSALL, KISHPAUGH, PERRY
