  HERMAN ERB, president of the First National Bank of Appleton, Wisconsin, of which city he has been a resident since March 26, 1861, was born in Fulda, Germany, October 31, 1843, and was educated in his own land, both in the common schools and the gymnasium of Fulda. In September, 1860, Mr. Erb reached the United States and before locating permanently at Appleton, visited New York, Oshkosh and Milwaukee. His association with the banking business covers a period of fifty years. In 1861, he entered the employ of the Outagamie County Bank, and prior to 1870, when he first became identified with the First National, he had been also connected with the Appleton National Bank and the private bank of David Smith and Company. On the organization of the First National Bank, Mr. Erb was made cashier and continued as such until his election as president, in April, 1909. The First National Bank of Appleton has occupied its present building on the corner of College and Appleton streets since 1871. It commenced business with a capital of $50,000, and with deposits of $55,000. The capital stock was soon increased to $75,000, later to $100,000, still later to $150,000, while at the close of business on January 7, 1911, the report showed the capital stock to be $300,000; the surplus fund $100,000, and its deposit $2,400,952. The original offices and board of directors were as follows: A. L. Smith, president; E. C. Goff, vice-president; Herman Erb, cashier; the board of directors being made up of the officers together with G. W. Spalding, J. T. Reeve, W. S. Warner, W. J. Wharton, H. A. Jones and other capitalists living in the state of New York. The present officers and board are: Herman Erb, president; F. J. Sensenbrenner, vice-president; George H. Utz, cashier; L. O. Wissman, assistant cashier; A. O. Hecht, auditor, with directors: F. J. Sensenbrenner, P. Schlafer, J. H. Marston, J. S. Reeve, Herman Erb, F. J. Harwood and P. R. Thom. August 22, 1863, Mr. Erb was married at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to Josephine Von Kurz, who died November 14, 1879, survived by four children: Mrs. Hattie E. Thickens, Mrs. Laura E. Scott, Herman Erb, Jr., who had served as Mayor of Appleton three terms and died April 30, 1900; and Josephine, who died May 12, 1908. Mr. Erb was married (second) May 26, 1881, to Julia A. Stahl, who was born at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, July 31, 1856, and died May 6, 1911. To this union were born Esther J. and Irma K., who are at home with their father, the former a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and the latter a student at Lawrence College.
