STUART WILSON.
    Stuart Wilson, first vice president of the State National Bank of Texarkana,
is a prominent figure in banking circles in the southern part of the state. He
has studied closely the vital financial problems and has ever recognized the
fact that the bank is most worthy of public support that most carefully
safeguards the interests of depositors. He has therefore maintained the highest
standards in the conduct of the bank and his labors have been a resultant factor
in the attainment of success for the institution.

    Mr. Wilson is a native son of Arkansas, his birth having occurred in
Columbus on the 16th of June, 1882. He was but four years of age when his
parents left that place and removed to Hope, where the family home was
maintained until he reached the age of nine years. They next resided in
Washington for two years and then went to Little Rock, where Stuart Wilson
attended the public schools until he reached the age of fourteen years, when he
started out in the business world, making his initial step as an employe in a
dry goods store. He was afterward connected with the Little Rock Street Railway
Company until 1903, when he obtained a position in the oil mill at Ashdown and
there remained until 1904. That year witnessed his preliminary connection with
the banking business, for he obtained a position in the Bank of Hope, now the
Hope National Bank, acting as bookkeeper for two years, after which he was
advanced to the cashiership and there remained until 1911, when he came to
Texarkana as cashier and executive officer of the State National Bank. In 1920
he became vice president and his time is now occupied by constructive effort,
administrative direction and executive control of one of the strong and growing
financial institutions of southern Arkansas.

    On the 25th of October, 1909, Mr. Wilson was married to Miss Pauline Eakin
and they have become parents of three children: Pauline, ten years of age; Mary
Adele, eight years of age; and Margaret Stuart, who is in her first year.

    Mr. Wilson and his wife are consistent members of the Presbyterian church.
He likewise belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, to the Rotary Club and to the
Country Club and in all of these is a director. He is interested in all that
pertains to the welfare and progress of his community and his labors are of
far-reaching effect in advancing the public good.
