HEINRICH C. SCHRAGE.

    Heinrich C. Schrage is filling the position of teller in the Bank of Whiting
and is a son of Henry Schrage, the president of the institution, who is
mentioned on another page of this work. Heinrich C. Schrage was born on the 2d
of July, 1869, pursued his education in the public schools here and in the
Lutheran school at Colehour, Illinois, where he spent one year. He entered upon
his business career as a clerk in the general store owned by his father at
Whiting, and served in that capacity until he took charge of the postoffice in
1892. He remained there until 1896, since which time he has been largely
connected with banking interests. He was, however, appointed postmaster in
January, 1899, and filled that position for two and a half years, when he
resigned in order to accept the position of teller in the Whiting Bank. In this
capacity he is now serving, and he has thorough and practical knowledge of the
banking business that has resulted in making him one of the strong and
influential representatives of financial interests in Lake county. The bank has
a capital and a surplus of sixty thousand dollars and a large business is
conducted. The management of the institution devolves in marked measure upon Mr.
Schrage, who is well qualified for the onerous duties.

    Mr. Schrage has spent most of his life in Whiting and is well known here. He
is the owner of considerable real estate in Schrage avenue, having houses there
which he rents, and these bring to him a good income. In politics he is a stanch
Republican, and he belongs to the Lutheran church. In Whiting he is well known,
and his social qualities have made him popular with a large circle of friends,
and the fact that many of his stanchest friends are those who have known him
from early boyhood is an indication that his salient characteristics are those
which command respect, confidence and good will.
