FRANK C. STIFFLER
With banking interests of Warren County, Frank C. Stiffler has been closely identified for several years and is today cashier of the Citizens Savings Bank of New Virginia. He is a native of this county, born on the 8th of July, 1868, in Norwalk, and is a son of Adam Stiffler, a worthy pioneer of this section of the .state, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume.
Our subject acquired his elementary education in the common schools and later attended Simpson College. On laying aside his text-books he took up the study of telegraphy and was employed as an operator for ten years. At the end of that time he accepted the position of cashier of the Cumming Bank and after serving such for seven years he came to New Virginia in October, 1907, to become cashier of the Citizens Savings Bank at this place. He has become thoroughly familiar with banking in both principle and practice.
In 1892 Mr. Stiffler married Miss Byrd Smith, a native of Iowa, and to them have been born two children: Wader, who died in 1901, when but six years of age, and was interred at Norwalk; and Herbert. They were mem­bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church and socially are held in high esteem. Fraternally, Mr. Stiffler is a Mason and is also connected with the Modern Woodmen of America, while politically he is identified with the Republican Party.
