Mr. Conklin had served on the Board for a little over sixteen continuous years, and had been Vice-President since October, 1931. In all this service, he had devoted his energy and time to the growth, development and preservation of the company, having a particular conscientious conception of the trusteeship confided in him by the depositors and shareholders. Mr. Conklin's wide acquaintance with the people of the city and county, and his unusual conception of the value of the real estate of both made his judgement most valuable to the other members of the Board. Of the most friendly and pleasant personality, and yet with the courage of his convictions and a conscientious concept of duty, his counsel and judgement came to be earnestly sought and thoroughly relied on by his fellow members of the Board. In the death of Ashton S. Conklin, this institution has lost one of its most valuable members, the city one of its foremost citizens, his wife a kind and indulgent husband, and the community an obliging and generous neighbor and friend.
