<metadataxml><content><line>&lt;p&gt;Fostoria&amp;#39;s oldest bank is the First National Bank,organized by a group headed by Andrew Emerine Sr. The other stock holders were ALonzo Emerine,JCF Hull, John W Davis,LJ Hissong, Fred Manecke, Wm H Skinner,Wm Ash and George W Hull. It started in 1882,in the room occupied by the Isaly&amp;nbsp;Store and remained there for over ten years,when it moved to its modern new Emerine building on the northeast corner of Main and Center streets. In its successful history of nearly three quarters of a century, the bank has had but three presidents, Andrew Emerine Sr,1882-1923,Andrew Emerine Jr, 1923-1952 and Eldren Layton 1952 to present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the bank has probably had plenty of excitement in its more than three score years and ten, it probably never has had nore hopes to have, a wilder time than it had on the afternoon of May 3rd, 1934,about three in the afternoon, when the Dillinger Gang staged a daring holdup of the bank. During the almost thirty minutes that the Gang was in possession, more than sixty shots were fired. Among the severely wounded was Police Captain Frank Culp,who,however, recovered to become mayor of the city. The Gang escaped with nearly $17,300.00, carrying away with them as hostages two of the bank employees, Miss Ruth Harris and the lat Wm Daub.&amp;nbsp;They were released a few miles from town unharmed. The bank still exhibits a few of the bullet holes as souvenirs.&lt;/p&gt;</line></content></metadataxml>
