-GRAYLING EXCHANGE BANK.
The Grayling Exchange Bank is a fixed fact. Mr. J. STALEY, Jr., of Caro, having decided to locate at this place. There not being a vacant room in town, we have vacated the west room of the AVALANCHE office, which is being fitted up for his use till spring when adequate quarters will be secured.
Mr. STALEY comes to us fully endorsed by those who know him, as a gentleman of culture a thorough business man and with sufficient capital to carry out his designs. As such he is welcome here, and we congratulate our citizens on the acquisition to our society and business. (6 Jan 1887)-ONE OF CARO'S PROMINENT CITIZEN'S.
Last Tuesday John STALEY, Jr., took his final departure for Grayling where he will embark in the banking business. As we have before mentioned, he will be much missed, as he has been identified with the interests of Tuscola county for the past 20 years. From 1867 to 1872 he followed surveying, and served as a county surveyor one term; was supervisor of Akron township for six successive years and filled some of the most important positions on the board. In 1876 was elected register of deeds in this county, was nominated for a second term by acclamation and elected. On retiring from his second term he was appointed by Judge JOHNSON as register of probate court, in which capacity he served for three years, and on the death of Judge JOHNSON would have been appointed Judge, had not that old fossil "Uncle JOSIAH" been disgracing the gubernatorial chair. After that Mr. STALEY was interested in the abstract and real estate business until something over a year ago, when he was compelled to retire on account of ill health. In all his positions no word has ever been said as to incompetency or lack of honesty or integrity. What is our loss is Grayling's gain. Her citizens may well be proud of the acquisition of so estimable a citizen to their number. - Caro Advertiser. (20 Jan 1887)-John STALEY, Jr., was called to Caro last Monday on account of the serious illness of his mother. (5 May 1887)
-Mr. and Mrs. J. STALEY, were called to Tuscola county, last Friday, to attend the funeral of Mr. STALEY's mother. (9 Jun 1887)
-Mrs. Frances M. EVES, of Millville, Pa., is making her sister, Mrs. J. STALEY, a visit. (14 Jul 1887)
-GRAYLING EXCHANGE BANK.
The Grayling Exchange Bank of John STALEY, Jr., has been established one year, and his business success is such that the Bank is sure to remain a permanent institution of the place. In fact, though started as an experiment, the first three months proved its necessity, so that Mr. STALEY purchased a building and fitted it up for banking purposes. With ample capital and perfect arrangement for foreign and domestic exchange all business can now be transacted here with equal facility to the larger cities. The aggregate business for the year will exceed $150,000.00. (29 Dec 1887)-J. STALEY, Jr., was called to Tuscola county last Saturday, on account of the serious illness of his father. He returned Tuesday, leaving him better, but as he is eighty years of age, and feeble, doubts of his recovery are entertained. (29 Dec 1887)
-Mr. J. STALEY was called to Tuscola county, Tuesday, to attend the funeral of his father, who died last Saturday. (2 Feb 1888)

-Mrs. J. STALEY and her two daughters, Maud and Mary, went to Caro, the beginning of the week, for a short visit. (18 Apr 1889)
-J. Wilson STALEY and his sister Miss Fannie, returned from Albion, last Friday. (4 Jul 1889)
-J. Wilson STALEY has gone to Detroit to take a position as assistant Teller in the first National bank of that city. His education, and natural adaptability for this work insures his success and advancement. We regret to lose him from our society here, but wish him unlimited success. (28 Jul 1892)
-J. STALEY has a new assistant in the Bank, in the person of his nephew, Mr. PURSELL, of Caro. (15 Sep 1894)
-O. S. PURSELL is the name of Mr. J. STALEY's assistant in the Bank. Make his acquaintance. (15 Sep 1894)
-BANK FAILURE.
Last Monday morning our village was thrown into a complete state of consternation to learn that the Grayling Exchange Bank, of Staley & TRENCH, had closed, and that Mr. STALEY had absconded.
A meeting of local creditors was held and an examination of the affairs of the bank made as far as possible by a committee from them which discloes that over $25,000.00 is due depositors and others, and that but $42.00 in currency was left in the safe, and no securities of value, only a lot of worthless notes. All of real value seeming to have been rediscounted at other banks.
The deposits of Saturday aggregate several thousand dollars, and its disappearance with the general condition of the business leads to the general impression that it was a case of premeditated robbery.
Three suits in attachment were begun Monday, and the Sheriff took charge of the bank, and on Tuesday a bill was filed asking for the appointment of a Receiver.
The AVALANCHE declines to discuss the question or express an opinion, but to give facts as developed.
Mr. STALEY was assessor of the school district and left the money claimed by the Board except $450.00. His office has been declared vacant, and N. MICHELSON appointed in his stead.
Aside from our business men the depositors include widows and minors and many laborers, on whom the loss falls heavily.
Since coming here in 1887, Mr. STALEY had won the entire confidence of the community, and was generally considered exactly honest in his dealings, and a very careful and conservative business man. Let the future pass judgment. (4 Nov 1897)-J. Wilson STALEY returned to Detroit, Tuesday afternoon. (11 Nov 1897)
-THE BANK FAILURE.
As the clouds roll by a little light is shed on the situation. Though the losses are not lessened, nor the individual cases, peculiarly sad, grown less, yet the situation, as a whole is not as black, as at first thought. The examination of the books, which by the way are magnificently kept and show everything perfectly so far as receipts and expenditures are concerned, indicate that, instead of the fact being, as many have supposed, a premeditated accumulation of the funds for the purpose of robbery, that for a number of years there has been a succession of poor investments, entailing loss and tieing up current funds in unavailable property at prices above actual value, until practically all deposits were thus applied, and the crash came leaving the bank swamped, and the cashier and manager without sufficient courage to meet the people he had wronged. Every effort has been, and is being made to secure property enough to cover the loss. Mr. TRENCH is reported to be wealthy, and there is a rumor that he is making overtures for settlement which, we hope, may prove true, as some of the depositors are placed in actual want by this crime. (11 Nov 1897)-As we go to press we learn, that Mr. G. L. ALEXANDER is on the way home with a proposition of settlement from Mr. TRENCH to the creditors of the Exchange Bank. (11 Nov 1897)
-Matters relating to the defunct bank of Staley & Trench look much better for the depositors than it was at one time supposed possible. Mr. TRENCH advises the committee, that he will carry out his proposition, the payment of $10,000 in cash, and the transfer of bank property, and the Commercial House, promptly, and Mr. STALEY, through his wife and son, transfers all his property to trustees, for the benefit of the creditors. The deeds for all have been drawn, and will probably all be executed before we go to press. This consumation will simplify matters greatly, and save all the time and expense of litigation, leaving only the expense of converting the property into cash, for distribution, and the executive committee chosen to represent all the creditors, are such business men that all may be assured of the utmost economy and promptness. the home, which would be exempt under the law, has already been placed in possession of the trustees, and the deed of the gypsum property at St. Ignace, owned by Mrs. STALEY, is executed and held in escrow, awaiting the execution of the other deeds. We are glad to note the brighter outlook. (2 Dec 1897)
