FRANK HOWARD CONN

For many years Frank H. Conn has been identified with the banking interests of Sacramento and is now holding the responsible position of assistant manager of the Bank of America, National Trust & Savings Association. He was born in Grantville, Nevada county, California, and is a son of John and Emaline M. (Burr) Conn. The father came to California in young manhood and engaged in mining, later turning his attention to the hotel business. The mother moved to Sacramento about sixty-two years ago, and here her death occurred in 1927, at the age of ninety-five years.

Frank H. Conn received his education in the public schools and took a commercial course in Atkinson’s Business College. He was in the employ of the Sacramento Lumber Company about one year, after which he entered the old Sacramento Bank, starting at the bottom. He devoted himself tirelessly to the interests of that institution, earning promotion after promotion until he became assistant cashier. That bank was eventually taken over by the Bank of America of California, of which Mr. Conn was continued as assistant cashier, or manager. He has back of him a splendid record as a banker, has been a real factor in the progress and prosperity of the institutions with which he has been connected and is very highly regarded in business and banking circles.

Mr. Conn was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Crossley, who also is a native of California, and they are the parents of a daughter, Doris, who is married and lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mr. Conn is a republican in his political views, and is a member of the Rotary Club, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Woodmen of the World, and Sunset Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West, of which he has been secretary for thirty-five years. A man of strong character, a capable banker, public-spirited citizen and loyal friend, he is greatly respected by those who know him.
