From a small 1861 Ringo Bank, Mexico Savings Bank expanded through the years. Leadership changes marked by presidents and cashiers, including J. E. Ross, S. M. Locke, W. A. Shaw, and L. M. White, accompanied by expansions, new buildings, and eventual affiliation with Commerce Bancshares. By 1974 assets topped 35.5 million as the bank moved toward a new main facility.
Plunkett and Stribling to retire after 40 years on Mexico bank board
Herbert B. Plunkett and Col. Charles R. Stribling Jr. will retire from the Mexico Savings Bank board this year after four decades of service. Since 1935 they helped steer the bank through growth from 11 million to 35.5 million in assets and aided local development, including parks and recreation.
