Security State Bank Records Security State Bank Cage 331 21 items. 1895-1963 Accounts, contracts, minutes, and other records of the Security State Bank and its predecessors and successors, including First National Bank of Colton, Colton State Bank, Farmers and Traders Bank of Johnson, Johnson State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Johnson and the Colton Branch of Old National Bank of Spokane. 4 linear feet of shelf space.

A banking business has operated at Colton and Johnson, Washington since the 1890's under different names. All were related in ownership or management in some measure. These nine entities were:

First National Bank of Colton, 1892-1900 First Bank of Colton, 1900-1906 Colton State Bank, 1907-1925 Security State Bank, 1925-1963 Colton Branch of the Old National Bank of Spokane, 1963 Farmers and Traders Bank, fl. ca. 1895 The Peoples Bank, not incorporated, fl. 1900-1906 Johnson State Bank, 1906-1907 Farmers State Bank of Johnson, 1907-1925

The Colton State Bank and the Farmers State Bank of Johnson were consolidated to form the Security State Bank in 1925. Subsequently it became the Colton Branch of the Old National Bank.

The records consist of account books, minutes and organizational documents, along with occassional interleaved correspondence relative to the several successive banks.

The records are arranged according to corporate entity, although they have been divided into two series which segregate the once restricted materials from the unrestricted. Though the restrictions on this material expired January 1st, 1995, the material has not been since reorganized.

This collection is open for research use.
