First National Bank of Eugene (Eugene, Or.)

The First National Bank of Eugene began as the Bank of Hendricks and Eakin on December 1, 1883. The bank was founded by Thomas G.

Original shareholders were Thomas G. Hendricks at 360 shares. Stewart B. Eakin, Jr. at 100 shares, and G. R. Chrisman, J. M. Hendricks, E. Stewart, and W. R. McCornack at 10 shares each, for a total of 500 shares.
