Citizens State Bank Citizens State Bank, Iowa Falls, l ow~ was orga

nized April 15, 1935 by Irvin B. Bleeker of Ackley and Edwa;d H. Klisart of West Bend.

In addition to them, W.A. Middleton, George Tjaden, Fred Fults and Laurence W. Wingert were on che first board of directors.

In 1944 control of the bank passed to H.A. Carstens, George Carstens and Harry S. Lekwa all of Ackley. Elmer Ringoen became executive vice president one year earlier and held that position until his death in 1953.

In August 1955. the Carstens and Lek11.a sold their interest to Leo Jorgensen, Dr. W.A. Johnson. R.M. Santee, Ray Haltom and Vinal McCoy.

On Jan. I. 1974 interest in the bank was trans· fered to R.E. Miller, D. F.. R uigh, R. M. Santee, T.S. r •e and Robert Lincoln.

e present Board of Directors consists of R.E. Miller, D.E. Ruigh. R.M. Santee, T.S. Gentle and Dr. T. Graham.

Miller is President, Ruigh is Executive Vice President, Richard Petersen, Vice President and Cashier, George Umscheid, Vice President and Installment Loan Officer, Dean T. Carlson. Vice President and Controller and Douglas Hatlevig, Asst. Cashier and Installment Loan Officer.

In 1959 the building west of Citizens State Bank was added to make additional space. In 1980 the building known as the Tot-N-Teen stop was pur· chased and added to the Bank premises.

Deposits on Dec 31, 1936 were $782,000 -Deposits Dec 31, 1980 were $43.000,000.

Iowa Falls State Bank In 1882 a bank known as the Commerical Bank of

Iowa Falls was organized with a capital of S32,500. The officers and stockholders were J .H. Carleton, President, Wm. Wilde, Vice President, W.H. Woods, Cashier: L.F. Wisner, E.S. Ellsworth, Wm Wilde, LO. Bliss, W.F. Beck, J.H. Haag. J.H. Carleton and Mrs. Helen Nichols, Directors. Wilde and. Bliss furnished their safe and the bank began busmess in Weaver & Woods law office. By i\ovember 1883 the assets of the bank amounted to $8'1,333.02. Deposits were $47.024.84. In the spring of 1884 the bank put a new brick building at the Southwest corner of Stevens and Washington. When they moved to this new building in September they changed the name to the First National Bank and it was the First National Bank in Hardin County. Some 30 or more years later this building was torn down and the present building occupied by the Iowa Falls State Bank was erected. For many

·~ E.O. Ellsworth was President of the First onal Bank.

n.s time went on conditions changed and the city of Iowa Falls was 11.ithout a bank from December 21. 1932 lo May 25. 1933. During that time checks were cashed an_d change made avai lable at the city hall. Floyd Khppel , then city manager, acted as teller. and made frequent trips carrying cash to and from Eldora or Des Momes, where banks 11.ere still

i'l operation. In March, 1933, two or three town meetings were

held as the city hall with the object of establishing a bank. To th is er:d the following committee was aJ)point~d: D.W. Repp, L.W. Coleman, W.A. Middletor:. W.E. Weldon and I.A. Nichols. This committee made contact with the Charles E. Walters Company of Omaha who were making a business of instailing banks. A preliminary meeting was held in the office of I.A. Nichols and arrangements were made to present a proposition to the people of the community, which was done April 21, in the superior court rooms in the library.

The bank was to be called the lo"'a Falls State Bank and to have a capital of $25,000 plus a surplus of $5,000. A.C. Thornburg of Deshler, ebraska, and R.L. Koethe of the Walters Company bought a little over half the stock, and the community, the remainder. With dollars as big as they were at that time, this was no small accomplishment. Sale of the stock was completed by May 5. 1933.

On May II, 1933, twenty-eight stockholders met at the library and chose the following directors: D.R. Repp, J.W. Capwell, Dr. R.M. Smith. W.A. Middleton, A.C. Thornburg, I.A. Nichols and W .E. Welden. W.E. Welden's place on the board was taken by his son R.W. Welden, who is now a director. Dr. R.M. Smith was chosen President, W.A. Middleton, Vice President, A.C. Thornburg, Cashier, L.L. Winterfield and L.C. Jorgenson, Assistant Cashiers. In August of that year. Mary Repp was hired as the first bookkeeper.

A.C. Thornburg's stock was sold in 1946 to F.A. Rummel of Williams, Iowa. Mr. Rummel was president until he sold his interest in 1952 to Robert W. Barlow. Present officers are: R.W. Barlow, Presidents: Roger E. Bjorenson. Exec. Vice Pres.: Arthur Dunn and R.W. Welden. Vice President; Keith E. Schwebke, Vice President and Cashier: Lorraine Bitters, and Lorraine Troutner, Ass't. Vice Pres.; Mary Anderson Donna Olsen, and Evelyn Pierce, Ass't. Cashiers. Directors are: Don W. Barker. R.W. Barlow, Mrs. Jerene Barlow, Roger E. Bjorenson, William J. Harris, and R.W. Welden. Arthur Dunn is honorary director.

Business began in the present building on May 25, 1933 and the deposits the first day amounted to S25,000.00. The bank has continued to progress and on December 31, 1980 the capital structure and reserves was $2,162,809.00 and deposits were $24,594,622.00. A modern motor bank was added in 1960 and the motor bank was reconstructed and doubled in size in 1977.

Citizen Printing Co. Iowa Falls had been settled for some I 0 years

before Marcus Woodruff came from Eldora to publish the first issue of the Iowa Falls Sentinel on Dec. 13, 1865. But Woodruff was not a stranger to the city.

A native of ew York, Woodruff had been a bookkeeper and teacher before heading west and landing in Iowa Falls in 1855. He helped survey the original town, picked out a corner lot, built the first frame building on the street and opened a land and law office with John F. Brown.

His interest in Republican politics later took him !O Eldora where he became deputy county auditor under J.D. Hunter. who also published the Hardin Sentinel in the county seat. Woodruff later bought that paper and in the fall of 1865 decided to move it to Iowa Falls, retaining the Sentinel name.

In April. 1871, the paper was sold to O.W. Garrison, who later had interests in the Waterloo Courier and Dubuque Daily Times. It was in 1883 that the Citizen appeared on the scene to offer competition and thts competitive situation contin· ued until 1927 when Ira Nichols, Citizen Publisher, bought the Sentinel and closed its doors.

The Times entered the picture in May. 1948, after E.C. Cassill sold the Alden Times to the Citizen Printing Co. Then, the Times became the first-of· the-week paper and the Citizen came to be published later in the week.

Among all of the publishers and editors of the Iowa Falls newspapers, none was more colorful and well-known than Nichols.

He was practical, hard-headed and kno"' n for

speaking his mind. Above all else. he was a "good newspaper" man who knew his business. paid his bills and was rough on his competition.

Nichols' career covered the years of 1895 to 1933. but he was still sufficiently active in Iowa Falls to offer plenty of advice to Carl Hamilton who took over a:. editor and publisher in 1948. The pioneer editor also authored several books. two of which are authoritiative histories of Iowa Falls.

Hamilton. too. garnered his share of recognition and honors during his 14 years with the newspaper. He also became well-known for his strong and thoughtful editorial positions and earned the Bent Cane Award of a statewide press club and the Master Editor-Publisher Award of the Iowa Press Association. He left the newspaper at the end of 1961 to head the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Iowa State University and in 1965 became the University's vice president for information and development.

Hamilton was succeeded bv Charles Davis who still operates the newspapers. The last 20 years have been marked by great changes and advances in printing technology and many of these found their way into early use at the Times-Citizen. The award winning ways of earlier years have continued and the Times and Citizen have received numerous state and national honors for editorial and news excellence. Like Hamilton, Davis is also a recipient of the Iowa Press Association's Master Editor-Publisher Award.

~orth Hardin County Chapter American Red Cross

On Mav 8. 1917. I.A. Nichols became chairman of the lo~a Falls chapter. Soon he had organized chapters throughout the county. He wa owner of the Hardin Count) Citizen and "hen he wrote his published history of Iowa Falls in 1950 he told much of the early days of the Red Cross.

For a few years in the early twenties the whole county was one chapter, but it didn't work well, so there has been two chapters in the county since 1923.

The Red Cross is mandated by congressional charter to provide service to military and dependents and emergency care in time of disasters. Between the two world wars, the Red Cross became involved in safety programs.

The Red Cross is primarily a volunteer organiza· tion and throughout the years many have helped with their money or services. In 1976 three local buildings with apartments were destroyed by fire. Because more than five families were involved. the National Red Cross sent a trained disaster worker who wrote disbursing orders for emergency help for eleven persons, including two pairs of eye glasses. The S2400 spent was as much as the chapter's share of their national fund drive.

In 1951 it was possible to purchase the building at 8!91fl Washington Ave. as chapter headquarters. At last the office, hospital equipment, sewing machines. firs t aid and water safety supplies etc. could be under one roof.

There was a place to pack the community Christmas boxes and to have Toyland for children. Unti l the late 40's all workers were volunteers, but increased paper work made it necessary to hire an executive secretary. Beula Seney Hossler was first. then Nettie Patten, Bess Welden and currently Dorothy Westbury.

During the Korean conflict in the early 50's over 800 pints of blood was collected. Seven years ago the Human Service Club of Ellsworth college sponsored an annual blood drive and now the local hospital auxiliary is responsible for two drives and the Ackley Lions Club has one.

Since 1981 is the centennial of the National Red Cross the local chapter is updating their scrapbooks. The names of as many as possible volunteers and events of the past years will be saved for the future . One name should be mentioned in closing. that of '':vlrs. Red Cross" Mrs. Frank (Bess) Welden. She started her volunteer work in 1933. "'ns acti\'c in near!) every phase of the orpni73tion. including I' years as executive secretary. In retiring from that JOb she stated ''I'll nc\cr ret ire from the R.:d Cr,,_<·· b,1 ~{rs. Arlhur Westb11ry
