Cornerstone Bank, formerly First National Bank of York, began with a thriving town in central Nebraska where people traveled in buckboards and farmers tilled the land with horse-drawn plows. In 1882, W.A. Sharrar joined forces with other local York businessmen to establish the First National Bank of York. During this era, York College, the York Daily News Times and the York Foundry were all established. Through the depression of the 1880’s, First National continued to grow under the watchful eye of Judge Post, a highly respected attorney.
First Trust Company merged with First National Bank, and when Jones retired in 1995, Holthus was elected Chairman of the Board and purchased Jones’ interest. Under the Holthus family’s leadership, the bank continued to expand and in November 1997, First National Bank of York became Cornerstone Bank.
Over the next decade, Holthus helped create a presence for Cornerstone Bank in more communities, spanning from Albion to Davenport, Rising City to Shelton. The bank currently has 33 banking locations in 24 communities and has 12 insurance offices. Current assets are $1.2 billion.
