S. H. PLUMMER (Scott Howell Plummer)
Minneapolis is proud to number among her self-made men S. H. Plummer, cashier of
the Northwestern National Bank, one of the largest and most important
institutions of its kind in this city. He was born here on the 14th of
September, 1874, a son of George A. and Mary T. (Taylor) Plummer. The father
came to Minneapolis from Pennsylvania in 1853, and for years was connected with
the post office.
Upon attaining school age S. H. Plummer attended the local schools, and after
putting his textbooks aside engaged in banking, in which business he has since
been active. He began as a messenger boy in the old Bank of Minneapolis and
after two years in that connection, in 1898, he was similarly employed by the
Northwestern National Bank. His conscientious performance of every duty assigned
him won for him constant promotion and he became successively bookkeeper,
assistant cashier, and on the 8th of January, 1918, took over the duties of
cashier of the Institution, a con­nection he has since maintained. He is a man
of genial personality and has won for the bank many friends.
On the 3d of May, 1904, Mr. Plummer was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Towler,
and to their union two children have been born: William and Robert. The
religious faith of the family is that of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Politically Mr. Plummer is affiliated with the republican party and as a
public-spirited and progressive citizen he holds membership in the Civic &
Commerce Association. He is greatly interested in the work of the Young Men's
Christian Association and for some time has been chairman of the board of the
Westlake Y. M. C. A. Socially he is identified with the Athletic, Automobile,
Manufacturers, and Lions clubs and he is also a member of the Minneapolis
Society of Fine Arts. Mr. Plummer's hobby is gardening and he is a
horticulturist of some note. The success he has achieved in life is well
merited, for he has taken advantage of every opportunity offered him and won an
enviable position in the financial circles of this city.
