"HERBERT IRVING YETTER. As a banker in Marchall County Mr. Yetter's career covers more than a quarter of a century, and in that time he has made himself and his bank an institution of helpful service to the community, and combines those two qualities so desirable to any banker, prudence with progressiveness. At Stephen, in 1888, he established a private bank and twenty years later, in February 1908, reorganized it as the First National Bank of Stephen, with a capital stock of $25,000 and surplus of $5,000. Mr. Yetter has been president since its organization, and the voice president is James J. Sinclair and in the cashier R. A. Whitney. A bank statement in 1915 shows capital stock of $25,000, surplus $5,000, undivided profits $2,500 and deposits of about $180,000. The bank owns its own building, a one-story pressed brick structure, eligibly located in the center of the village and occupying ground dimensions of 25 by 40 feet.

Herbert Irving Yetter was born in Plainview, Minnesota, November 21, 1861, a date which indicates the pioneer residence of his family, and his own life lacks only three years of covering the entire period of Minnesota statehood. His parents were John and Abby (Sylvester) Yetter, his father having been a pioneer farmer of this state. Mr. Yetter was educated in the public schools of Rochester, Minnesota, and early in life took up banking as his regular vocation. He worked as bookkeeper in different banks until his removal to Stephen in 1888 and the establishment of the bank which he has conducted either as a private institution or as a national bank for more than twenty-five years.

Mr. Yetter for the past fifteen years has been treasurer of the independent school district at Stephen. He is also a member of the Commercial Club. On September 5, 1903, occurred his marriage with Miss Jane Renny of Stephen. Their three children are Dorothy, John Forrest and Katherine Renny."
