THEODORE WOLD
Theodore Wold, vice president of the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis,
was born in Decorah, Iowa, July 4, 1868, his parents being John S. and Elizabeth
(Espeseth) Wold. He attended the public schools of his native city and started
out in the business world as clerk in a general store at Decorah, being thus
employed from 1885 until 1889. He then entered upon active association with
banking interests and thus initiated an experience which has brought him to a
notable position in the finan­cial circles of his adopted city. He spent the
year 1889-90 as a bank clerk at Elbow Lake and afterward became assistant
cashier of the First National Bank at Little Falls, Minnesota, there remaining
from 1890 until 1896. In the latter year he was elected cashier of the Merchants
Bank at Winona, Minnesota, and so continued for four years. The period between
1910 and 1914 was spent as president of the Scandi­navian American National Bank
at Minneapolis and in November of the latter year he became the governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank of this city, in which position he continued until October,
1919, when he was elected to the first vice presidency of the Northwestern
National Bank of Minneapolis-his present active connection with the financial
circles of the city.
On the 26th of October, 1893, Mr. Wold was married to Miss Belle E. Groves of
Decorah, Iowa, and they reside at No. 1779 Emerson avenue South. Mr. Wold is a
thirty-second degree Mason and an Elk. He is independent in his political faith
and is a member of Plymouth Congregational church. He finds pleasant
associations through his club membership, being identified with the Minneapolis,
Minikahda, Odin, Lafayette and Automobile clubs.
