History:
The Bank of Mansfield, established in 1892, is the oldest business in Mansfield. Initially the bank operated as a partnership from 1892 until 1902 at which time it was incorporated.
The original stockholders of the corporation included G.W. Freeman, M.A. Freeman, J.B. Freeman, Mrs. S.A. Freeman and N.J. Craig. During its over 100 year history, the bank has been presided over by six presidents: G.W. Freeman served from the bank's inception until his death in 1933; M.A. Freeman, his son, until 1948; followed by George B. Freeman, grandson, until 1960 and Gorman C. (Pete) Freeman, another grandson, until 1975. Joseph D. Coday, great grandson of the bank's founder, served until 1992. The current president is Joe's wife, Jean C. Coday.
The cashiers over the years have included N.J. Craig, A.J. Clark, C.N. Clark, Herbert Curtis, Robert L. Tester, James W. Clark, Leah Davis and Donna Tutt. At the present time, the board of the bank consists of Jean C. Coday, Robert S. Coday, Joseph C. Coday, Jane K. Coday, Dale Freeman ("Pete" Freeman's son), Ivan E. Forrest, Mike Roberts, William Maddy and James E. Miller.
At the time of his death in 1933, G.W. Freeman pledged a sufficient amount of his own personal assets to ensure the bank's continued operation throughout the Great Depression. The Bank of Mansfield is distinguished as the only independent, home-owned bank which still operates in Wright County.
The Bank of Mansfield has shown a growth in assets from a few hundred thousand dollars to over 50 million dollars at the present time. The Bank of Mansfield has always endeavored to be an integral and supportive part of the community and has participated in major civic projects throughout its 100+ year history.
The board of directors, officers and bank staff are proud of our history and take pride in helping to preserve the heritage of our fine community. |
