At the Ohio state legislative session of 1837-8, the Mechanics' Savings Institute, a bank of deposit, was incorporated and soon after went into operation in Columbus. Wm. B. HUBBARD was President, and for a time Warren JENKINS was Cashier, then Thomas MOODIE. It continued till about the time the City Bank commenced business, when the former was discontinued, or merged into the latter.
The City Bank of Columbus went into operation under the law which authorised independent banks, secured by the deposit of State stock with the Treasurer of State. This bank was located in the same building as the Columbus Insurance Company, and to a great extent the stockholders in one of these institutions were also in the other. Thomas was Cashier during the whole existence of the Institution.
Finally the bank and Insurance Company both failed; the Insurance Company in 1851, and in November 1854 the bank closed its doors. The public lost nothing by the notes, they being secured, but it was ruinous to the holders of stock.
