(Lake Village Branch) Kentland Bank has come a long way from its beginnings during the Great Depression. Substantial local funds were lost in the demise of Newton County State Bank in 1931 and left Kentland without a bank. Undaunted, Glen C. Tolin and Edgar Teague pooled their resources, put their faith in the abiding prosperity of Kentland, and opened Kentland Bank for business in the fall of 1932.
