Union-Whitten Bank history spans unions and leaderships
The Whitten Bank moved to Union in 1930 forming the Union-Whitten State Savings Bank with branches at Whitten and Liscomb. Officers over the years included Ralph Kauffman and C. F. Long, who died in 1972 after a 50 year bank association. The Charlie and Daisy Long Memorial Park opened in 1963, and Long helped start a Diamond Jubilee celebration in Union for 1949.
