Description	:	James Patmor was born in 1851 in Ohio, and came to Kansas in 1877 to forget the death of a close friend. Because this area reminded him of Ohio, he decided to stay. Several assistants traveled with him to introduce surface mining for coal in this area. As business boomed, Mr. Patmor had the first machinery shipped to this area for use in strip mining.

Because this area reminded him of Ohio, he decided to stay. Several assistants traveled with him to introduce surface mining for coal in this area. As business boomed, Mr. Patmor had the first machinery shipped to this area for use in strip mining. Although he found a challenge in strip mining, problems that involved hauling the coal disillusioned Patmor. A fire that destroyed his steam shovel climaxed the problem and put him out of business. However, Patmor's motivation and unusual interests gave rise to the enormous coal industry that located in Pittsburg. Although he received most of his education in Ohio, Patmor attended night classes and became an accountant after his mining experiences. In 1883, Patmor became a purchaser for the Bank of Pittsburg, then a branch of the Bank of Girard. He eventually became cashier. When the bank nationalized and changed its name to the National Bank of Pittsburg in 1886, Patmor was elected vice-president and remained at the bank for almost twenty years. In 1903, he resigned from the bank, which at the time was one of the most prosperous and largest banks in the nation. On his 47th birthday, January 25, 1904, Patmor opened the doors of the First State Bank and was elected president. The bank is still in existance today. Patmor continued his active service until his health compelled him to resign. He died December 15, 1909. His son, Jay Patmor, continued with the bank. --Biography by Mark Hill Info courtesy of Find A Grave contributor Daryl Mallett & Barbara Biggs
