Eugene e. Shafer, Cashier of the Farmers State Bank of Redkey and for many years one of the best known business men of that city, is a native son of Jay county and has lived here all his life. Mr. Shafer was born on a farm in Penn township on Nov. 7, 1875, and is a son of Daniel G. and Mary A. (Underwood) Shafer, who more than twenty-five years ago became residents of Redkey. Daniel G. Shafer was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, and was but a lad when he came with his mother and step-father to Indiana, the family settling on a farm in Penn township, this county, in 1846, among the pioneers of that section of the county.

Eugene E. Shafer was but three years of age when his parents moved from the farm to Pennville and in the excellent schools of this pleasant village he received his schooling. When the family moved to Redkey he became employed in a restaurant there and presently became engaged in the restaurant business on his own account, a business he followed for about twenty years or until he was asked to take the position of assistant cashier in the Farmers State Bank of Redkey. It was on April 9, 1917, that Mr. Shafer entered upon his service in the bank and on February 1, 1921, he was elected cashier of the bank, the position he now occupies, one of the best known bankers in this part of the state. The Farmers State Bank of Redkey was organized on March 18, 1914, with Lee Dearmond as president, Morton Dull as vice-president and Mark A. Wilson as cashier. Mr. Shafer is a 32d degree (Scottish Rite) Mason and a Knight of Pythias. He and his wife are members of the Christian (Disciples) Church and are Republica.
