Miss Lillian BristowUnion, KY.Anyone who ever has visited the Union 
Deposit Bank never will forget the wholesomeness and pleasing 
personality of its assistant cashier, Miss Lillian Bristow, who has 
endeared herself to the hearts of all who know her. Miss Bristow was
born near Union July 31, 1894, the daughter of Napoleon and Annie 
Anderson Bristow. Her father died in 1926 and her mother makes her 
home at Union. Miss Lillian has two sisters, Mrs. Louise Adams of 
Covington and Sue Kathryn Bristow and one brother, Sandford both of
the latter residing at home.Lillian Bristow was a member of the first
graduating class of Union High School in 1914. Four years later she
entered upon her duties at the above named bank where, as we said 
before, she holds the position of assistant cashier. She is an active
member of the Baptist church and belongs to the Bristow Chapter O. E.
S. at Erlanger. This chapter was named after one of her relatives. 
Lillian Bristow’s paternal great grandfather, Gen. Leonard Stephens
came to this section from Virginia. He was a big land owner and was
commissioned a general fighting with Washington during the 
Revolutionary War.Not long after the birth of independence in this
country, the French Gen. Lafayette paid a visit to the Middle West
and by his choosing was entertained at the house of Gen. Stephens
at Locust Grove, stopping there on his travels from Lexington to
Cincinnati. Lillian’s grandfather, Ruben Bristow, married Statira
Stephens, a daughter of this above mentioned personage. Lillian’s
father came to Boone County shortly after his marriage where he 
operated a farm now owned by his heirs. Lillian’s maternal 
grandfather, Ben Anderson, married Mary Huey, who came here from
Missouri prior to the Civil War. Ben Anderson enlisted in the 
Confederate Army as a trooper under Gen. Morgan, Co. 1., 2nd 
Kentucky Cavalry, and became his favorite soldier. Lillian’s 
mother was born near Union on October 22, 1867.
