GEORGE FREDERIC ORDE
George Frederic Orde, manager of the Lincoln office of the Northwestern National
Bank, was born in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, on the 5th of June, 1864. He is a
son of Charles Bertram and Emily Lever (De'Lisle) Orde, the former a native of
Canada, while the latter was born in Scotland. The Orde family is of English
lineage, the first repre­sentative of the name on the American continent having
come from Northumberland, where they owned a large estate. The family was also
prominently represented in the English army.
George Frederic Orde obtained his education in the public schools of his native
country and started out in the business world as a bank employe, securing a
situation in the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Woodstock and Peterboro, Ontario.
In 1886 he went to Chicago and there entered the employ of the American Exchange
Bank. In 1895 he was made assistant cashier and later in the same year he became
cashier of the North­ern Trust Company of Chicago. In 1905 he was offered and
accepted the position of cashier and director of the First National Bank of
Minneapolis, coming to this city, since which time he has been closely
associated with financial circles here. Some time after­ward he was elected to
the vice presidency of that bank and in 1914, in connection with H. R. Lyon and
Charles B. Mills, he organized the National City Bank, which later consolidated
with the Scandinavian American National Bank, and ultimately adopted the name of
the Midland National Bank. On the first of August, 1921, Mr. Orde was offered
and accepted the presidency of the Lincoln National Bank, which position he held
until that institution consolidated with the Northwestern National Bank. Mr.
Orde is today one of the well known bankers of the Northwest, having membership
with the Minnesota Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association and
enjoying the highest respect and confidence of the entire banking fraternity.
In November, 1887, Mr. Orde was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte J.
Carnegie, a daughter of John Carnegie, M. P. P., who sat in the first parliament
of Ontario. To this marriage has been born one son, De'Lisle, who was in the
Twenty-sixth New England Division during the World war, serving with the rank of
sergeant. He was under military age when he joined the army, but this did not
hamper his valor and loyalty. He served in the battle of Chateau Thierry, in the
Argonne and two other of the important engagements on the western front. He was
gassed in the Argonne offensive and he went through all of the experiences of
modern warfare, being mustered out at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, in February,
1918. He is now a commercial artist in Minneapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Orde also have
a daughter, Eleanor Margaret.
Mr. Orde holds membership in a number of the leading clubs of the city,
including the Minneapolis Club, the Minikahda Club, the Woodhill Country Club,
the Minneapolis Curling Club and the Minneapolis Automobile Club.
