1898Poo
January 1, 1898
- The Bristol Morgan Company moved across the street (to the building known today as Cowles-Henke Insurance) and decided to separate the store operations and financial services, as private banks were allowed in Wisconsin at that time. The company surrounded the property with a security fence and dedicated the front of the building to banking.
- Then, on February 22, 1898, the financial business became officially known as the Bank of Oakfield.
