HENRY COUNTY HISTORY 411 Fred C. Hill was educated in the public schools of his native town, his education being supplemented by experience in the usual school which affords a thorough training for a young man who if possessed of ability, can make his own way in the world without an academic education and training. We refer, to the school of experience which requires that a man actually do things worth while. Mr. Hill's training has been such as to eminently fit him for banking. His first experience in banking was as bookkeeper in the Bank of Cahoun, a position which he entered upon in 1898. Two years later he became bookkeeper of the Citizens Bank of Windsor. In January of 1906 he became teller of the Clinton Na- tional Bank, a position which he resigned in June, 1906, to become cashier of the Montrose Savings Bank. Mr. Hill was married in October, 1904, to Miss Earl Morrow, of Buffalo, Missouri, a daughter of R. A. Morrow. Two children have been born of this marriage: George Robert Hill, aged ten years; and Mary Ellen Hill, aged five years. The Democratic party has always had the support and allegiance of Mr. Hill. He is affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of Clinton. Mrs. Hill is interested in religious works and is a mem- ber of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Montrose Savings Bank was established in 1895 by R H. Dugan, 0. P. Wilson, W. S. Winkler, and others. Mr. 0. P. Wilson served as the first cashier of the bank, and was succeeded by W. S. Winkler, who served as cashier until succeeded by the present incumbent, Fred C. Hill. This bank has a capital of $15,000, with a surplus of $15,000 and is in a flourishing and prosperous condition. The undivided profits on hand at this writing (April, 1918) exceed $1,750, all of which has been earned by the bank in due course of business. The bank is owned by twelve individual stockholders who live in Montrose or vicinity. The deposits now exceed $210,000. The officers of the bank are as follows: R. H. Dugan, president; H. Welling, vice-president; Fred C. Hill, cashier; R. H. Dugan, H. Welling, Fred C. Hill, A. J. Mann, Mrs. W. N. Nickell, Joseph DeBold, and W. L. Gurner form the board of directors. Charles M. Clark, cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, Mont- rose, Missouri, was born August 4, 1869, in Deepwater township, Henry County, and is the son of David W. and Sarah E. (Jackson) Clarke, the former of whom was a native of Virginia and the latter was a native of North Carolina.
