Charles F. Solomon

Transcribed by Jean Walker, Aug 2024. Who's Who in Arizona, Vol 1 by Jo Connors, 1913. Pages 273-274.

Charles F. Solomon, President of the Arizona National Bank, one of the oldest and most reliable banks within the State, is also Secretary and Treasurer of the Solomon Commercial Company, Solomonville, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Solomin-Wickersham Co., Safford.

Mr. Solomon was born in Towanda, Pa., March 7, 1873, but has been practically reared in Arizona, the family having removed here when he was a small boy. His father, Isidor Elkan Solomon, was one of the pioneer merchants in the early days of Solomonville, before the advent of the railroad in that section, is one of the substantial citizens of the county, and aided materially in the upbuilding of that portion of the state.

Charles F. Solomon has been prominent in the commercial and banking life of the State for many years, and was one of the organizers of the Solomon Commercial Company, and the Gila Valley Bank & Trust Co. His entire time was devoted to his banking and commercial interest in Graham County until January, 1913, when he was elected President of the Arizona National Bank, and he has since been actively interested in this institution, and has removed his home from Solomonville to Tucson.

In every phase of his career Mr. Solomon has been regarded as a man of the most substantial characteristics and the highest integrity, and the notable increase in the volume of the bank’s business since its reorganization may be attributed largely to his personality and influence.

In the fraternal life of the State he is well known, being a Mason of the 32nd degree, a member of the Knights of Pythias and of the B. P. O. E.

He was married in 1895 to Miss Hattie Ferrin, of Tucson, Arizona, and is the father of three sons, Elkan, Adolph and Ferrin Louis.
