Included with the photos is this account of possible history by Linda Peckham:

This group of pictures are of the Tanner home at 39 Main Street. This property was purchased by
William H Tanner in 1851 from Jonathan Roberts according to the registry of deeds .Both of these
names are on the 1871 town map of Farmington. I'm not sure if the property had buildings on it when
it was purchased.

The people in the photo might be William H Tanner (1825-1906) and his wife Martha (Giles) Tanner
(1844-1918) or it is possible that is John Tanner(l788-I868) William"s father His mother Mary Jane
(Thompson) Tanner (1789-1859) had probably passed away.

William & Martha had 4 children: Charles 1865-1890. Once 1866-1950. Lizzy 1870-1936. and George
Irving 1878-1959.

George Irving and his wife moved in with his mother Martha after Williams passing, after her passing
he brought out his sisters to own the property. He and his wife Gertrude (Smart) Tanner lived there until
their deaths. They had three children Leona (1911-1911), Evelyn (Tanner) Furber (1912-1997) and
Floyd I. (1914-2011).

Floyd bought the property from his parents before their deaths. He and his wife Edna (Marcoux) Tanner
lived on the property until their passing 2011 and 2016 respectively.

His wife was my Aunt and her sister Jeanette Flanagan as the administrator of her will thought that you might be interested in the picture.

The early history reads:

EARLY HISTORY THE FARMINGTON NATIONAL BANK is the out growth of a State Bank which was organized some time previous to January 1, 1855, such records as are available not giving us the exact date. Over three-quarters of a century have elapsed since that time and volumes might be written on the changes which have taken place in the Town and also in methods of banking. We find that back in April and May of the year 1872, Citizens' Meetings were held to give consideration to the organizing of a National Bank. As a result of these meet- ings, G. W. Herring and Charles W. Thurston proceeded to Washington for the purpose of obtaining permission to organize, and this authority was given under date of May 15, 1872. Under date of June 3, 1872, Articles of Association were adopted, and a Board of nine Directors elected. The following men were elected to the Board: G. W. Herring, John H. Barker, Alonzo Nute, Charles Talpey,]. F. Cloutman,H. B. Edgerly, C. W. Thurston, Martin L. Hayes and Edwin Wallace. The Directors then chose the following officers: G.W. Herring, President, J. F. Cloutman, Vice-President, and Thomas F. Cooke, Cashier. The certificate of organization was sworn to before Daniel W. Edgerly, Notary Public, under date of July 19, 1872, and sent to Washington upon receipt of which a Charter was granted by Honorable John Jay Knox, Comp- troller of the Currency, under date of July 27, 1872.

The booklet continues with photos of of the old bank and the new bank buildings. It offers a short service statement and then outlines each department, for a total of six departemnts. the booklet concludes with full page photos of the bank president, vice president, cashier, and director.

This item was found in a School Street property.
