FRANCIS M. EVERETT, cashier of the Mount Carmel Banking Company and one of the

most prominent men in the financial circles of Mount Carmel, is a son of Elijah

and Elizabeth (Stiner) Everett, and was born May 11, 1850, in Orange township,

Columbia County, Pa.



  The paternal grandfather of our subject, James Everett, was a native of

Northampton County, this state, who removed to Bloomsburg when young, being one

of the pioneer settlers in what is known as Orange township. He was engaged in

agricultural pursuits in that township for many years. The family on the

maternal side was of German origin and its members were among the earliest

settlers in Briarcreek township. The father of the subject of this sketch,

Elijah Everett, was born in Briarcreek township and resided in it until his

death at a comparatively early age.



  Our subject was educated in the common schools. His father dying when he was

quite young, his mother remarried and removed to Muncy, Lycoming County, Pa.,

where Francis remained until he was seventeen years of age when he forsook the

farm and took a position as a clerk in the general store of I. W. Hartman & Son,

in Bloomsburg. After clerking for a short time he was made manager of the

grocery department of the store, successfully conducting the firm's large

business for a number of years. Subsequently, from 1871 to 1874, Mr. Everett was

employed in the War Department at Washington, D. C. In 1890 he connected himself

with the Bloomsburg Banking Company at Bloomsburg, with which he remained until

January, 1895, when he removed to Mount Carmel, where he now resides and where

he has been very successful in managing banking business. As cashier of the

company of which he now is one of the leading men, the Mount Carmel Banking

Company, Mr. Everett has shown much ability as a financier and to his ability

and careful direction is largely due the prosperity of the company. The officers

of the company are: President, Thomas M. Righter; vice-president, David Camp;

cashier, Francis M. Everett, our subject; directors, Thomas M. Righter, David

Camp, George E. Berner, H. S. Robins, D. D. Bolich, Isaac Goldschmidt, Peter A.

Stief, Benjamin Wirt, Joseph Gould, John L. Williams, 0. B. Millard of

Centralia, and Joseph S. Nowakoski.



  Mr. Everett is a member of the board of directors of the Mount Carmel Iron

Works, the officers of which are: President, David Camp; vice-president, S. E.

Bergstresser; treasurer and manager, J. M. Derby. He also is president of the

Miners' & Laborers' Building & Loan Association. He is a trustee of the M. E.

Church in which he is an active member.



  Twice has our subject been united in marriage, first to Anna Hartman, daughter

of I. W. Hartman, and unto them were born two daughters: Minnie, wife of A. H.

Derby of Mount Carmel, and Mary, wife of E. F. Carpenter of Bloomsburg who is

one of the clerical force of the First National Bank of Bloomsburg. Mr.

Everett's second marriage was to Amelia Neyhard of Bloomsburg and their union

has been blessed by three children, Robert, Frederick and Margaret.
