Peoples Bank
Celebrating 100 years
A.J. Barnett, the first cashier and President of Peoples Bank from 1920-1959, was mayor of Cuba, for ten years. The first city lighting system was installed during his first term in 1922. The mural shows him cranking the first Model T Ford in Cuba. In the car, left to right are Katie Hunter, Billy Jackson and A.J.'s children, James and Mildred Barnett. The building at the SW corner of Smith and Washington was the site of the bank in the early 1900s.
