George Washington Riddle

(May 18, 1861 - August 22, 1924)

      

   (Abilene Reporter-News, August 24, 1934)

Neither Riddle nor Robinson lived in Frankston.

Riddle was a resident of Dallas, and Robinson lived in Austin.

In 1910,
Riddle had a Dallas address 5103 Gaston Avenue.

This is not the first time a bank officer has lived in a town other than the one his bank was in.

B. R. Thomason, the Cashier of the Citizens National Bank of Henderson, never lived in that town.
He was born in Gainesville. He lived there & he died and was buried there.

Temple D. Smith, President of the First National Bank of Carthage, never lived there.
He was a lifelong resident of Fredericksburg.

W. B. Jacobs, President of The Kilgore National Bank, lived in Shreveport.

The fact that neither officer was committed enough to live in Frankston
may explain why the bank only lasted three years.
