Carter Lewis was educated in the Mansfield high school and in the Henderson Brown College. When his textbooks were put aside he started out in the business world and became bookkeeper for the National Bank of Mansfield, with which he has since been identified. His capability and fidelity won him promotion and since January, 1921, he has been cashier of the institution. This bank was organized in 1901, its first officers being: W. L. Seaman, president; C. C. Graves, cashier; and A. T. Boothe, vice president. From the beginning the bank has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth and is regarded as one of the reliable moneyed concerns of this part of the state. The officers at the present writing are: C. G. Graves, president; R. O. Landrum, vice president; and Carter Lewis, cashier. In 1920 Mr. Lewis was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Newell and they have many warm friends in Mansfield, enjoying the hospitality of the best homes here. During the World war Mr. Lewis entered the service and was with the artillery forces at Camp Taylor. He is ever loyal in support of those progressive measures which have to do with the welfare of community, commonwealth or country. |
