 MR. GLENN F. BARNS. Our sponsor, Mr. Glenn F. Barns, was born in Fairmont, W. Va.. July 17. 1X72. his family being among thr oldest residents of Fairmont. Mr. Barns graduated from the High School, attended the Normal School and at the same time completed a course in shorthand. When the Monongahela Railroad was completed between Fairmont and Clarksburg, in 1X90, he accepted a position as stenographer for the (ien- cral Manager, and remained in this position until 1892, when he accepted the junior position in the First National Bank of Fairmont. Mr. Barns was with this bank for seventeen years, passing through all the positions to Assistant Cashier, which position he held in 1909, when he accepted the cashier- ship of The National Bank of Fairmont (which place he now occupies), being one of the largest National Banks in the State. Mr. Barns has occupied the position of President of the cst Virginia Bankers’ Association and is well and favor- ably known throughout the banking fraternity of the State, besides enjoying a wide acquaintance outside of West Vir- ginia. We arc proud to speak of Mr. Barns’ patriotism during the war. as he was Chairman of Marion County' in the First. Second and Third Liberty Loan Campaigns, as well as Chair- man of the War Savings Stamp Committee of Marion County. Marion County oversubscribed its quota in all Lib- erty Loans and War Savings Stamp Campaigns, and we largely’ attribute it to the untiring and patriotic endeavors of our sponsor.
