Biographical/Historical Note

On December 21, 1836, they passed an act chartering the new and improved Louisville, Cincinnati, and Charleston Railroad. Included in this new charter was the provision that the stockholders of the new railroad company were given the power to organize a separate corporate for banking purposes to be known as the "South Western Rail Road Bank."
