and reminisce. Ashland is also honoring its heritage with a new wall to be constructed in
the square, where the names of family members and other loved ones can be etched into
a brick, permanently leaving their mark “written in stone”. The Great Alabama Homecom-
ing is being celebrated in Ashland on Oct 8th, 9th, & 10th, and again in Lineville on Heri-
tage Day, Nov 6th. Not to be overlooked in the excitement is Lineville’s “Downtown Re-
union” that will be held concurrently on Nov 6th, as the old Lineville landmark is given
tribute. The modern city of Lineville began in 1838 with the establishment of the Lundie
Trading Post, and by 1856, the downtown Lineville intersection had become a landmark
watering hole for pioneers on their way to test their skills in the great American West.
This Fall as we reflect on these treasured memories of the past, FSB cannot help but be
reminded of the settings and building blocks that have made us who we are today. In the
early 1970s, our bank arose against the odds through the will of strong men & women
who were determined to have a bank that would serve the people of our community bet-
ter, and keep local dollars in local hands. Just as the Lundie Trading Post was “in the
right place at the right time”, FirstState’s founders seized the moment and built an institu-
tion that would revitalize its community for decades to come. As FSB looks forward to its
40th anniversary next year, we are reminded that the key to endurance is keeping one
eye on the past, and the other on the future. In so doing, one is able to see what brought
us into the present, and weave the best parts of our heritage into the fabric of our future.
