Van Duzer was president until January 14, 1868, when he was succeeded by Howard Elmer, and Mr. Elmer continued in active charge of the bank to the time of his death, September 9, 1892. Frederick E. Lyford was elected to the position of president by the directors at a meeting held in January, 1893. He has since been at the head of the bank, and its present prosperous condition is in a good measure due to his management. Mr. Lyford's connection with the First National began Novem ber 14, 1871, in the capacity of clerk. He was appointed cashier, in 1881, to succeed Richard A. Elmer, who had then recently re tired to enter upon the discharge of his duties as second assistant postmaster-general. Mr. Lyford was cashier until the death of Howard Elmer, and was then made president. At the same time Percy L. Lang was chosen cashier vice Lyford. The capital of the First National has always been $50,000, and no losses other than in the regular course of business have been a part of its history. The surplus is $10,000, with $4,000 to the credit of the undivided profit account. The present officers are as follows : Frederick E. Lyford, president ; Nathan S. Johnson, vice-president ; Percy L. Lang, cashier ; F. E. Lyford, N. S. John son, Percy L. Lang, Charles H. Shepard and Riton Durfey, direc tors.

  • History of Washington County, Pennsylvania* All the Territory Now Embraced in Mount Pleasant To
    Mt. Pleasant Twp. (pp. 850-865) History of Washington County, Pennsylvania* All the territory now embraced in Mount Pleasant township was originally comprehended in the townships of Smith, Cecil, Hopewell, and Canton. The erection of Chartiers from Cecil on the 12th of March, 1790, and of Cross Creek from Hopewell in the same year brought a part of this territory in those townships. In January, 1806, a petition of citizens of this section was presented to the grand jury of the Court of Quarter Sessions praying for the erection of a new township. This body passed upon it favorably, and the matter was brought to the notice of the court at the May term, and on the 12th of that month the action of the grand jury was confirmed, and the decree ordered for the erection of a township to be called Mount Pleasant. A slight addition was made to the township form Chartiers in 1831. The territory comprehended in this township has been a different times in the early years included in election districts Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6. It was erected into a separate election district March 28, 1808, but for some reason did not so remain, and continued to be included in districts with other territory till 1838, when it became independent. The names of justices having jurisdiction here prior to that time will be found in the lists of Smith, Cecil, Peters, Chartiers, and Cross Creek townships. Those elected for Mount Pleasant since that time are here given, viz.: James Hughes, April 14, 1840. John Reed, April 14, 1840.
