15th of the Year. Most of my family on my Dad’s side has their money there and my aunt works there.  My grandparents kept their accounts there at least since the Depression and through many other hard times until my grandmother died a little over 2 years ago.  The bank had started in 1914 and survived an area hit hard by the Depression, great floods in 1943-4 (the 1927 flood wasn’t as bad along the Illinois) and 1993.

No more.

From the looks of it the deposits are generally safe.  I haven’t gotten a hold of my Dad to see if my aunt will keep her job.
