                            WILLIAM CONDON

     WILLIAM CONDON, cashier of the First National Bank of Hancock,
  Michigan, has been a resident and business man of Houghton County
  since 1862.  He was born in Wayne County, Michigan, where he was
  reared and educated.  In 1862 he removed to Houghton County and
  embarked in a mercantile business at Hancock, to which he devoted
  his entire attention until 1888.
  
     Mr. CONDON came to the First National Bank of Hancock in 1888,
  having previously assisted in the organization of the National Bank
  of Houghton, in which for a time he was a stockholder.  The First
  National Bank of Hancock is the oldest financial institution in the
  city, and was established March 18, 1874, with a capital stock of
  $100,000, its organizers being: S. D. NORTH, J. W. WRIGHT, CHARLES
  E. HOLLAND, T. L. CHADBOURNE, GRAHAM POPE, JOSEPH H. CHANDLER, PETER
  RUPPE and E. H. TOWAR, the present president of the Marquette National
  Bank.  Its first board of directors included these prominent names:
  JAMES A. CLOSE, FRANK G. WHITE, PETER RUPPE, Z. W. WRIGHT, JAMES N.
  WRIGHT, RICHARD UREN and CHARLES E. HOLLAND.  The first elected 
  officers were: S. D. NORTH, president, now deceased and succeeded by
  Capt. S. B. HARRIS; JAMES A. CLOSE, first vice-president; and E. H.
  TOWAR, cashier, whom Mr. CONDON succeeded in 1888.  The present board
  of directors is constituted as follows: WILLIAM H. ROBERTS, SAMUEL B.
  HARRIS, MICHAEL FINN, GEORGE H. NICHOLS, CHARLES D. HANCHETT, JOHN
  FUNKEY and A. J. SCOTT.  The bank has built up a surplus of $35,000.
  The deposits, according to statement of condition, made to the Comp-
  troller of the Currency, were $915,039.54 on June 9, 1903.  The first
  bank building, which was erected in 1887, was enlarged in 1901 to its
  present dimensions.  It is three stories in height and of a stately
  style of architecture which makes it one of the finest buildings in
  the city. 
  
    Mr. CONDON resides with his family, at Hancock, one son, JOHN C.,
  being a clerk in the bank and another, FRANK C., being engaged in
  the office of Hanchette & Lawton.  In his political views Mr. CONDON
  is a Republican.  Fraternally he belongs to the higher branches of
  Masonry and is connected with Calumet Commandery, Knights Templar.
  As a citizen he has always been most highly considered, and he can
  look back upon a business life of useful activity and the highest
  integrity.
