WALLER OVERTON, cashier of the German National Bank, of Newport, Ky., is
a native of Fayette County, Ky., and was born November 17, 1838, a son of
Dabney Caw and Eliza (Harris) Overton, who were natives, respectively, of
Fayette County, Ky., and Louisa County, Va.  Walter Overton, the
grandfather of our subject, settled near Lexington, Ky, very early in the
history of the State.  The family is of English and Welsh origin.  Dabney
C. Overton was a graduate of both law and medicine, but was a farmer by
occupation.  He took a great interest in his son's education, who was
reared on the farm, but who, after a four-years' course at Bethany College,
West Virginia, graduated at that institution.  He served in the Confederate
Army as adjutant of the Second Kentucky Battalion Cavalry, all through the
war.  He settled in Newport in 1868, and in 1882 assisted in organizing
the German National Bank, successor to James Taylor & Sons, of which bank
Samuel Show is president and Mr. Overton is cashier.  The bank has a
capital of $100,000, with $22,000 surplus, and an average deposit of
$350,000.  In 1870 he married Miss Alice Winston Pendleton, of Louisa
County, Va., who died in 1877.  Mr. Overton is a Royal Arch Mason, and a
gentleman of rare business attainments.
