Mr. Truesdell was an active businessmam in Berlin and he served as an alderman, mayor, school board member and also a concressional delegate to several conventions. Around 1900, Mr. Truesdell moved and the building was occupied by three separate businesses, the Berlin State Bank, a grocery store and a saloon. The Berlin State Bank later became the Farmers and Merchants Bank, and the other two stores have housed a variety of businesses. |
