J. Clarke, Publisher H. H. HARROLD. H. H. Harrold, who in 1911 became identified with the Eddyville Savings Bank, is now cashier of that institution. He was born in Mahaska county, Iowa, March 29, 1882, and is a son of J. G. and Eleanor (Evans) Harrold. The father is a native of Mahaska county, Iowa, while the mother’s birth occurred in Jones county, this state. Both are now residents of Oskaloosa. In their family were two children, but Paul, the younger, is now deceased. The father is engaged in the life-insurance business and is well known in Oskaloosa and that section of the state. H. H. Harrold at the usual age became a pupil in the public schools, passing through the consecutive grades until graduated from the Oskaloosa high school. Later he continued his studies in Penn College and made his initial step in the business world as a bookkeeper in a bank at Oskaloosa, where he remained for some time. Subsequently he became assistant cashier in the Oskaloosa National Bank, in which he continued for several years. In November, 1911, he removed to Eddyville, where he has since been an active factor in the management of the Eddyville Savings Bank, of which he is now the cashier. His previous training has well qualified him for the responsible duties that devolve upon him in this connection and under his guidance the bank has made steady progress, becoming one of the safe and solid financial institutions of the county. In his political views Mr. Harrold is an earnest republican but has never been an aspirant for office. He belongs to Eddyville Lodge, No. 74, F. & A. M., and to Chapter No. 99 of the Eastern Star. He is a member of Lodge No. 340, B. P. O. E., Oskaloosa, Iowa, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is widely recognized as a fine business man, alert, capable, energetic and enterprising, and he is well liked by all who have dealings with him.
