Harald Thorson banking files. 1910-1998 (bulk 1920-1944).

http://www.mnhs.org/library/findaids/p2589.xml

Financial statements ("statements of condition") for a variety of small town banks located in Minnesota and in North Dakota owned by Harald Thorson, a native of Norway and benefactor of St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota. A folder of biographical material includes information about Thorson's large bequest to St. Olaf and subsequent legal challenges initiated by his survivors. These were apparently the files of P. O. Holland, who was treasurer of St. Olaf College and executor of the Thorson estate.
