City State Bank changed hands in 1919

The City State Bank changed hands in 1919.

This item appeared in The Sutton Register on October 2, 1919.

When I returned to Sutton in 2005, the two banks in town were the City State Bank - the north bank and Sutton State Bank - the south bank. Those had been the names of the two banks for a very long time.

Cornerstone Bank of York, one-time First National Bank of York took over City State within a short time. A few years later the south bank became the sole Nebraska branch of Astra Bank, a network of Kansas banks headquartered in Belleville.
