The above gentlemen took one hundred shares each, at $100 a share, making up the capital stock of $200,000, as fixed by the charter. On the 3d day of May, 1865, the following gentlemen were elected the first board of directors: Charles A. Babcock, Nathan Crowell, Richard A. Robertson, Nathaniel Adams, George W. Messinger, Warren Sawyer, Jarvis Williams, Alden Speare, Amos B. Merrill, and William Fox Richardson. The last named gentleman was perhaps the most active of all who had exerted themselves to establish the bank. He was therefore very appropriately elected the first president of the bank, and Nathan P. Lawson as its cashier. Mr. Richardson, late president of the Boston Penny Savings Bank, has for many years been one of Bos- ton's most useful and influential citizens. He was succeeded as presi- dent of the Everett National, January 12, 1866, by Warren Sawyer, who has ever since most ably filled the position. Nathan P. Lawson was cashier until January 15, 186%, when he resigned, and was suc- ceeded by George E. Carr. The present cashier, John Reynolds, has been serving in this capacity since January 19, 1883.
The capital of the bank was increased to its present limit, $400,000, on March 31, 1844. The locations of the bank have been various. It remained at its original location, corner of Newton and Washington streets, South End, till the expiration of the lease of its banking rooms there. On the 1st of November, 1862, having obtained permission from the comptroller of the currency to remove to a better location down town, it moved into Parker's Building, on Congress street, between Milk and Water streets. On May 28, 1822, it moved to premises in Congress street, near Lindall street, now Exchange Place, where it

remained till the great fire of November 9 and 10, when the building was destroyed. This was the last building burned in that section of the city. On the Monday following the fire the Everett recommenced business at 66 State street, continuing there until December 1, 1875, when it moved into the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company's building, corner of Milk and Congress streets, where it has since remained'
Of the ten original directors the only one still a member of the board is Warren Sawyer, who has been one of the directors of the bank ever since its origin. The board of directors for 1892 is as follows: Warren Sawyer, Francis O. Winslow, Lucius G. Pratt, William H. Sands, Joaquin K. Souther, Charles F. Johnson and R. B. Converse.
The condition of the Everett National Bank, as reported to the comptroller at the close of business, March 6, 1893, was as follows:
