FREDERICK JESUP BANKS
BRIDGEPORT: Cashier City National Bank
Frederick J. Banks has always resided in Bridgeport, where he was born, July 20, 1854. He was educated in Strong’s Military Institute, where he received ample preparation for the business career which he has since developed. His first start in business life was as bookkeeper and teller for the banking firm of Hatch & Watson for three years. His faithfulness gained him promotion to a position in the City National Bank in 1874 as a bookkeeper, from which he was advanced to be the receiving teller, and later for ten years the courteous and very efficient paying teller. He now fills the honorable and very responsible position of cashier, most acceptably to the institution, and to the gratification of his many friends. Mr. Banks married, January 23, 1889, Miss Julia L. Whitehouse of Brooklyn, N.Y., and their beautiful and hospitable home is on Clinton avenue. Mr. Banks has never sought public honors or distinctions; he is, however, the trusted treasurer of the Bridgeport hospital, and is deeply interested in its welfare - as of everything that tends to promote the social, moral, and charitable interests of his native city. He is a member of St. Johns Episcopal church of Bridgeport.
