Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Albany´s Historic Street: A Collection of Some of the Historic Facts and Interesting Traditions Relating to State Street Relating Its Neighborhood Such interest is earned in similar institutions in other cities, and there is no reason why depositors may not derive equal advantages in Albany. Such an addition to the interest receivable here will prove a vast benefit to the class of small depositors; and we therefore wish the new institution a long and prosperous career, and to promote that desirable end we unreservedly and cordially commend it to the confidence of our readers." Erastus Corning, who served the bank as president from 1869 to 1872, and whose former home (now occupied by the Albany Club) still stands in State Street, was prominent in the public life of Albany. He served on the board of aldermen and also as mayor of the city. He was a member of the Peace Convention at Washington in 1861. At the time of his death, in 1872, he was a regent of the University of the State of New York. John Henry Van Antwerp, one of the original incorporators and the last of this notable group of men to survive, succeeded Mr. Corning in office. Mr. Van Antwerp was a lineal descendant of that Daniel Janse Van Antwerp who came from Holland and settled in Beverwyck in 1661, and who became a prosperous fur-trader. Mr. Van Antwerp served his city and State in various capacities. He was influential in the creation of Washington Park. For nearly thirty years he was President of the National Savings Bank, receiving in that time no remuneration for his services save, as his biographer states, that priceless reward of a consciousness of duty well performed. Simon W. Rosendale, formerly Attorney General of the State of New York, was the third president in office, predecessor of the present and fourth president, James Hilton Manning, a former mayor of Albany. The past history and the present history of the National Savings Bank are very closely associated. Albert Parsons Stevens, of New England birth, who had been instrumental in securing the charter for the bank, resigned the office of teller at the First National Bank, and was elected May 19, 1869, secretary and treasurer of the National Savings Bank. He served the bank in this capacity and as a trustee for forty-two years. His son, Frederic B. Stevens, entered the bank in 1888, and is at present treasurer and a member of the board of trustees, his period of service covering thirty years. Daniel Manning, one of the original incorporators and a member of the board of trustees, served on this board until other affairs claimed his undivided attention. A-lr. Manning was Secretary of the Treasury during President Clevelands first administration. A touching tribute was paid to Albany by Mr. Manning when, knowing that he had but a short time to live, he asked to be brought back to his birthplace, the city on the Hudson, the river known by him so well in youth. His son, James Hilton Manning, has been connected with the bank for thirty-seven years. He has been president since 1904.
