Florer, Bruce, cashier of the First National Bank of Wabasha, is a native
of Newport, Indiana; came to Wabasha in 1872, at which time his brother,
W. J. Florer, who died in this city August 18, 1881, was engaged in
banking here in connection with A. D. Southworth. Mr. Bruce Florer spent
the first year of his residence here attending school, was then one year
in a grain and commission house, and clerking in the county offices until
1874, when he entered the banking office of A. D. Southworth & Co., and
was their bookkeeper for five years, when he was promoted to the post of
cashier. He has retained that position during all the subsequent changes
in the bank management, and is practically its business head. January 1,
1878, he married Miss Mary S. Robinson, of this city.
