  • March 29, 1932, bank President Percival Chrystie was found shot and killed in his home. He was also President of Taylor-Warton steel company, NJ board of education committee, on the Board of Conservation and Development, and was on his 3rd marriage.

    I would like to find out more about this banks history as I grew up only 10 minutes away from the bank. Was Percy's murder ever solved? Are there any notes with his signature? It's not easy to find info about some of these small town banks on the internet so you really have to depend on town historians. I think that's what makes me enjoy National Bank notes that much more. It's a hobby with deep roots in local culture and is very educational.

    I believe the bank became a First Union bank for a while in the 1980s (please correct me if I'm wrong) and is now a liquor store. I do remember visiting the building with my parents as a child and I believe it was a bank.

    Taylor-Warton property was purchased by Custom Alloy and that is where my father made his living. He used to bring me there sometimes as a child. We would search the property together for old bullets and projectiles from previous wars that were made there. They made quite a bit of steel products for military use.
