From "The Batavia Historian":

NEW LIFE MEMBERS

The last year has seen four new life memberships in the Society making our total well over sixty. These new enrollees in this special group are Dolores Carlson, Virginia Jackson, Alvan Collins, and the Harris Bank-Batavia. This display of interest and commitment to our organization is most welcome. (Note: Harris Bank was formerly the "First National Bank of Batavia, Illinois" prior to 1989, when it was aquired by Harris Bank).
