Citizens Bank

Citizens Bank of Brodhead was organized in December, 1904 by a group of prominent citizens from the community. The following January the bank was launched with J. Thomas Cherry as president. After several years of success in varying degrees, attended by the growing pains which frequently beset young business organizations, The Citizens Bank came under the leadership and guidance of a new Cashier, Mr. A. M. Hiatt, a young man who had already served his two-year apprenticeship as Assistant Cashier of the institution.
