The society was organized by the medical profession for the people. Its meetings are ever open to the public and any questions which may arise having to do with the betterment of health or sanitation are freely con- sidered and executed, so far as is within the power of the society.

HOSPITALS
Too much praise cannot be given the founders of the various hospitals Fremont has had since its existence. In 1891, in a small frame building
106
DODGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES
on the site of the present three story brick building, the late Dr. L. J. Abbott opened an institution for the better care of the ill and for prop- erly performing surgical operations. At first Dr. George Haslam, M. D., still a leading physician and surgeon of the city of Fremont, was a partner with Doctor Abbott in his hospital work, at the corner of Fourth and Broad streets. This hospital was able to care for fifteen patients. Trained and professional nurses were employed, both Drs. Abbott and Haslam bestowing their best efforts in their work of conducting the first real hospital in Fremont. Doctor Abbott withdrew from the concern in 1892.
In 1897 the present hospital was built, and in this permanent build- ing are rooms neatly furnished by the Fremont Furniture Company and by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The citizens have ever taken
FREMONT HOSPITAL
much pride in this institution. Any physician of the city may take his patients there and treat them. Formerly the capacity was twenty- eight rooms, but when the building was rebuilt it provided for more patients. This hospital was made possible by the combined efforts of numerous business men of Fremont who have always shouldered such responsibilities. About a dozen persons are constantly employed in this hospital. Nurses are also trained here for practical work. Home capital was wisely invested in this institution which has come to be appreciated over a wide scope of country. Of the management of this institution it may be said that at first it was managed by Doctor Haslam; next for a period of one year its superintendent was Miss Fox; the next two years was in charge of Miss Eoline Clark; the fourth superintendent was . Mrs. Honora Kelly, who had charge for nine years, and she was suc- ceeded by the present owner of the property-Mrs. Marie L. White, who took possession in 1918.
CHAPTER XI
BANKING IN DODGE COUNTY
(BY T. L. MATHEWS)
UTILITY OF BANKING-THE FIRST BANK OF THE COUNTY -- SUBSEQUENT INSTITUTIONS-PRESENT BANKS OF DODGE COUNTY-SUMMARY OF BANKS IN 1920-BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATIONS-TRUST COMPANIES.
A bank is as indispensable in every business community as any other branch of business.
Banks are useful as places of security to deposit money. They are necessary and important to persons who wish to borrow-to the farmer who buys a farm, or to tide him over from time to time ; to the business man who needs additional funds in his operations.
The bank acts in this double capacity. It gathers the surplus money of a community ; offers its capital as a guarantee of its safe return ; loans a part of this money to the active members of the community, stimulat- ing activity in all lines of commerce. To the extent that the bank holds in its custody the funds of the community, to that extent it is of value and a benefit in that community.
A bank account is a safe way to keep your money.
Payment by check is convenient, saves time, guards against errors, furnishes a good record of your transactions, is useful when a payment is disputed.
A bank account of an individual is a valuable record of his income and expenditure.
A bank account is an educator of the depositor, acquaints him with the value of keeping a record, gives him a better idea of business affairs.
A bank account is a great help in saving money. It becomes the one ambition of the man who has a sum of money, large or small, to his credit in the bank, to strive to increase that sum.
The richest men in the country never carry money in their pockets, but put it in the bank. The bank accords careful consideration to the small as well as the large depositor.
There are National Banks, State Banks, Savings Banks and Private Banks in this country, but all are under control of the government- National or State.
BANKS IN DODGE COUNTY
The history of banking in Dodge County reaches back to the pioneer days and has been highly honorable and is unblemished by a single bank failure.
In the history of Dodge County's banking, the record does not show that any bank official was a defaulter or the subject of criminal proceed- ings. Considering the active part the banks have taken in the develop- ment of a new country and in backing infant industries, the record made is one that challenges attention and is worthy of commendation.

DODGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES
Because of their high standing and financial strength and the con- venient reach, the Fremont banks have from an early day carried large balances for the country banks in Dodge and adjoining counties, and this has made Fremont an important center for money.
THE PIONEER BANK
The present First National Bank is the successor to the first attempt at banking in Dodge County, and the story is best told by the subjoined extract from the "Life of E. H. Rogers," written by his daughter, Mrs. L. S. Moe, and assisted by Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Rogers, copied from the original manuscript which reads thus:
In the summer of 1866, the prophetic expectations which led to the founding of the little Platte Valley town ten years before, were fulfilled by the building of the Union Pacific Railroad through the county.

E.H.ROGERS:"
FIRST BUILDING FIRST NATIONAL BANK, FREMONT
PRESENT BUILDING FIRST NATIONAL BANK, FREMONT
The impetus given to its growth and prosperity by the magic touch of the great continental electric belt, seemed to justify a new business venture more metropolitan than any to which the prairie hamlet had yet aspired. In connection with a real estate office which they had established a short time before, E. H. and L. H. Rogers opened a private bank which has developed into the present First National Bank of Fremont. Very humble quarters housed the infant institution. George F. Blan- chard, a young man whom my father held in high esteem, used as a hardware store a long, low, dingy building standing upon the corner now occupied by the bank and in its back room the financial experiment was first essayed. Later when it gave some promise of success, a small' one-story building with the ubiquitous square front western towns had, somewhat modified, was erected for its accommodation on the opposite side of Broad Street. Here it flourished, being for some years the only institution of the kind in the town or county.
A third partner was admitted to the real estate business and that branch entrusted altogether to his care, becoming a few years subse- quently his individual property. This gentleman was G. W. E. Dorsey, since member of Congress, then a young West Virginian, recently dis-

charged upon the closing of the Civil war from the United States service and seeking his fortune in the West. In 1872, the bank was re-organized, becoming the First National Bank with my father as cashier, and shortly recrossed the street to its present quarters upon the original site.
Then it may be stated that this the county's first banking house pre- ceded the present First National Bank which was organized March 16, 1872, the former banking house was established as a private bank by E. H. and L. H. Rogers who organized in 1867, doing business under the name of "The Banking House of E. H. and L. H. Rogers" until the organization of the national bank.
The first capital was $50,000. The first officers were: President, Theron Nye ; vice president, H. J. Lee ; cashier, E. H. Rogers ; assistant cashier, L. H. Rogers. The stockholders were: Messrs. J.

In 1914 the present steel and concrete bank building was constructed and its present value is $300,000.

History: The history of the beginning of the Fremont National Bank seems to be about as follows: "I think the bank was first started as a private bank, Wilson & Hopkins, in 1869-70, at about the location where the millinery store now is, just west of Johnson's Auto Company on Sixth Street, possibly a little west of that. Mr. Hopkins was then unmarried and lived in the rear part of the building with his mother.
"I think the building now occupied by the Fremont National Bank was built by Wilson & Hopkins in 1871 (possibly 1870), John Ray, architect. Hopkins married about that time and lived on the second floor. The Wilson was W. R. Wilson and the Hopkins was the silent partner of the grain firm of W. R. Wilson & Co.
"About 1879-80, Wilson & Hopkins dissolved and the bank was run by A. P. Hopkins for a year or so and then Hopkins & Millard (Alfred Millard, son of Ezra Millard, who was then president of the bank).
