A few words on the history of the Peoples Deposit Bank, from 1930,  are here.

There were two Burlington Banks.  Boone Co Deposit Bank began in August, 1885; there's a pic above.  Peoples Deposit began 11-5-1905, in the Jefferson St. building above.  The building now across from the old court house, identified above as Peoples Deposit and as Boone Co Deposit, was built by the Boone Co Bank, in 1925.  The Boone County Deposit Bank sold all of it's assets, including the building, to Peoples, in January, 1927.  Peoples sold to Huntington.  Huntington will sell to . . .
