Description
Turmoil
came
to the
Geneva
community
and to the
Geneva
Bank
stockholders
in
July
of
1912
. As the
state
Bank
Examiners
arrived
and
began
checking
the
records
of the
Geneva
Bank
,
cashier
,
William
Hale
left
the
building
pleading
heat
exhaustion
,
only
to
go
to his
home
and
end
his
life
. The
bank
records
revealed
a
$14,000
discrepancy
. The
reporting
of the
Indianapolis
News
regarding
this
event
was not to
Gene's
liking....and
she
expressed
herself
very
well
. She
demonstrated
the "
temper
"
reported
by her
friend
Margaret
Day
Briggs
(2009.1.083)
as
well
as her
compassion
. In
rebuttal
Gene
staunchly
supported
her
husband
, and as a
stock-holder
herself
, she
stood
behind
the
bank
. This
letter
sent
to the
Indianapolis
News
was
printed
in the
Decatur
Democrat
on
August
1
.
We
believe
that the
postcard
sent
to
John
Heller
(2009.1.004)
on
August
3
,
1912
,
refers
to a
retraction
offered
by the
Indianapolis
newspaper
.
