Owner's Description

Walden, NY The Third NB Ch. # 10923 PMG 15 $5 1902 PB Fr. 606 Radar SN 16361 pp D/1361 dtd. Nov. 4, 1916. Somewhat faded, purple signatures of C.W. Kay, Cashier, and Elmer Dell, President. A circulated Plain Back from this Orange County bank that had an interesting history. While it called itself the Third National, it was actually a recharter of the NB of Walden which had been a recharter of the Walden NB. Therefore, while Walden legally had three national banks over the years, they all occupied the same physical premises in successive order. In belated recognition of this fact, the Third NB changed its name to the First NB&TC in May 1930. A couple of minor repairs have been noted by PMG.

Walden is a boys' name of Old English origin, and the meaning of Walden is "wooded valley". Also form of Waldo, but better known from Thoreau's book and the pond "Walden".
