HARRY C. TRUMAN, cashier of the Kentucky National Bank, was born in this city, August 4, 1850, and is a son of Orville and Esther (Marriner) Truman, the former for many years a leading wholesale merchant, and the latter a daughter of R. W. Marriner, who was one of the leading hardware merchants of Louisville. The subject of the sketch was educated in the public schools of Louisville, and for a term was a student in Murray Hill Institute, New York city, and completed his educational studies in a private class of Prof. B. B. Huntoon of this city. He engaged in the banking business in 1868, first taking a position in the Bank of America of this city, which in a few years went into voluntary liquidation. He was then offered a position in the Kentucky National Bank, and has been with that bank ever since, holding different positions, and by strict business integrity has arisen to the important one of cashier. He was married in September, 1881, to Miss Hattie Semple, a daughter of A. C. Semple, of Louisville, a prominent citizen and business man. Mr. Truman lives at Pewee Valley, sixteen miles from Louisville, on the Short-line Railroad, one of the most delightful suburban retreats adjacent to Louisville.
