The Bank
by John H. Bates
1906, Goree also saw the organization of the First National Bank. The new bank was in the first brick building built.
Mr. Dan Allen, Mr. W.W. Coffman, and Mr. Ernest Allen were officers of the bank.
Mr. Dan Allen told the story about the U.S. Government sending two men to Goree to make a report on the vicinity. They stayed around a few days and during this time they and Mr. Allen had become much good friends that the agents let him read the report they were sending to Washington.
In this report they had remarked that there was no reason why it would ever rain in the vicinity. For Goree was too far from the ocean and too far from the mountains, and according to all known factors those were the causes for rain, the Goree country had none of them, so they just didn’t expect it would ever rain there.
