trudymade: Bank note contains Kate Gleason’s signature, who was the bank’s president. Kate Gleason gave the first $20 bank note to Anna Howard Shaw who kept it in a leather purse. When Anna Shaw died, the bank note and purse were returned to Kate Gleason’s sister, whose companion gave it to Rev. Charles J. Lavery, C.S.B., and who in turn gave it to St. John Fisher College.
