Certain large investments having been made, which the board of directors and the majority of the stockholders believed would result in heavy losses, the bank was elosed July 8, 1915, and the state auditor took charge. The bank remained elosed for about a month, during which time the stockholders and directors arranged to make good the impairment claimed, taking out of the bank all paper that had been questioned. At this juncture, fearing that liquidation of the bank through a receivership was imminent, which would tie up more than $300,000 of the depositors' funds, and entail great loss and hardship through delay, Fremont Hoy and Clarenee F. Hoy, his son, who had been president and vice president, respectively of the competing State Bank of Crystal Lake, acquired a majority of the stock of the Citizens State Bank, and its management was assumed by them. Clarence F. Hoy was made its president and Fremont Hoy its temporary cashier and vice president. W. IF. Wilbur became cashier in September of that same year.
Through the succeeding year the State Bank of Crystal Lake and the Citizens State Bank were operated under the direction of Fremont Hoy and Clarence F. Hoy, with the able assistance of Messrs. Lyn Richards and W. H. Wilbur, as cashiers of the respective banks, with the result that the depositors of the Citizens State Bank were saved from the loss of money, and the community from shock to its honor and reputation as a banking center, and most of all the confidence of the people in banking integrity was retained. The Citizens State Bank and the State Bank of Crystal Lake were consolidated August 14, 1916, becoming the United State Bank of Crystal Lake, capitalized at $75,000; by this consolidation the bank at once took rank among the
178
HISTORY OF MCHENRY COUNTY
more important banks of the county. It is housed in its own fine build- ing, equipped in a modern manner. The Messrs. Hoy disposed of their banking interests at Crystal Lake in January, 1919, to W. H. Wilbur and Lynn Richards, thus terminating their successful banking ex- perience of six years at Crystal Lake.
The State Bank of Crystal Lake, now consolidated with the Citi- zens State Bank, under the name of the United State Bank of Crystal Lake, was founded and opened for business by James R. Jackman, October 20, 1910, with a capital of $25,000. Mr. Jaekman was president ; J. C. Nordling, cashier. and F. L. Colby was vice president. Lynn Rich- ards, former deputy cireuit clerk, beeame cashier, January 1. 1911. In October, 1915, Fremont Hoy, having acquired control of the majority of the stock of the bank, became its president, and his son, Clarence F. Hoy, its vice president. Mr. Richards was continued as cashier. Under this management the bank had quite a gratifying growth, having depo- sits of about $210,000 at the time of its consolidation with the Citizens State Bank in August, 1916. The strength of this bank was never ques- tioned, and was amply proven when in July, 1915, it was found neces- sary for it to provide for the financial requirements of the entire com- munity. The bank and its officials proved able to cope with the stination in a capable and satisfactory manner, and without any discrimination. The following is the statement made by the bank March 31, 1921 :

FINANCIAL REMINISCENCES OF MY HENRY
James B. Perry, who came to Mellenry in 1864, and is still residing here, furnishes the following interesting data relative to the banking history of MeHeury.
Some of the more prominent financiers of the earlier period in this
182
HISTORY OF MCHENRY COUNTY
vicinity were Samuel Il. Walker and Freeman Whiting, who were ac- enstomed to make loans. The firm of Owen Brothers, composed of Herman N. and Edward M. Owen, located at MeHlenry, to which they came prior to 1850, first being engaged in general merchandising and dealing in grain, but later branched out and built and operated a mill which they used for tlouring and saw-milling. In connection with other business transactions they sold some exchange, but, as far as is known, did not accept deposits. The iron safe used by them about seventy years ago is still in MeHenry and in use, only, however, for the purpose of protecting books and papers against a possible fire. The mercantile business of Owen Brothers was continned by them until 1874, when it was purchased by James B. Perry and Alfred A. Martin, and they, too, issued exchange. About 1882-3 Mr. Martin disposed of his holdings to Oliver N. Owen, and the firm of Perry and Owen was formed, and in 1888 began doing a regular banking business, under the name of the Bank of MeHlenry, with a capital of $15,000, and deposits in 1913 of $150,000. The bank was operated in a substantial brick bank building. ereeted by the firm in 1901.
This bank, with James B. Perry at its head, did a conservative and satisfactory business. Mr. Perry lived in the community for so long a period that he was intimately acquainted with all of the people, and they relied upon him for advice in financial matters. Among the substantial early bankers of this county Mr. Perry is an excellent example.
In 1913 Messrs. Perry and Owen, desiring to retire from active busi- ness, negotiated a sale to Fremont Hoy and Clarenee F. Hoy, who took control of the bank, November 1, 1913.
FOX RIVER VALLEY STATE BANK
The Hoy Banking Company succeeded the Bank of MeHenry, the name being changed in 1914 when the capital was increased from $15,000 to $25,000. That same year the bank building was remodeled. In Octo- ber, 1920 a charter was granted to the Fox River Valley State Bank, Me- Ilenry, Illinois, for the purpose of taking over the business of the Hoy Banking Company, with a capital of $50,000. Fremont Hoy became its president ; James B. Perry and Clarence F. Hoy, vice presidents, and Joseph C. Holly, cashier.
Mr. Fremont Hoy belongs to a family of bankers in MeHenry County. and is well known through Illinois as an astute financier. He has been variously connected with banking in this county for many years, and
183

is recognized as an authority on finance. This bank has for years special- ized on real-estate securities.
