Lumbee Bank Is Now Celebrating Fifteen Years Of Service
Hie Lumtee Bank is in its
15th year of operation. This
has prompted a celebration by
stall, directors and friends of
the Bank. While preparing for
this celebration it was hard
not to remember the begin
ning of this unique organize
tion. Hie idea sprang forth
during a time of new ideas,
changes, and revolutions -
1960's. Someone said why
donrt the Lumbee Indians
have their own bank? This
would create many opportun
ities for the community. It
would afford the economic
development of an economic
ally depressed area.
The idea became reality
with people such as Howard
Brooks, Dr. Martin Brooks,
LH. Moore, John Robert
Jones, Congressman Charlie
Rose, Adolph Dial, Ray Liles
and others. The above indivi
duals were the original or
ganizers with Howard Brooks
being the Tint Chairman of
the Board of Directors and
Ray files being the first
President.
From a log cabin office on
Third Street in Pembroke, the
organizers set out to sell the
necessary stock needed to
open the Bank. Hie commun
ity was very excited about the
prospects of the first Indian
Bank in the nation. Some folks
who were financially able,
purchased large blocks of
stocx anu outers" purchased
one (1) to ten (10) shares of
stock. Several families pur
chased one share of stock for
each member of the family.
The Lumbee Bank was
officially chartered September
29, 1971. With the necessary
stock being sold, the Bank
opened for operations on
December 22.1971. The office
was a mobile home unit
located near the Bank's pres
em location, the origin*! sunt
was Curtis Pierce, Ester Hed
rick, Brends Shoemske, and
Vernice Oxendine. As a result
of the sale of 67,189 shares of
stock, the Bank began with
assets totaling $670,000. lb
day the Bank's total assets are
$16,000,000.
The early days for Lumbee
Bank was a struggle for its
Board and staff. Hie opera
tion of a bank was new to
everyone except Mr. liles,
the President There was also
skepticism from a portion of
the community. But with the
opening of a new, beautiful
office in March, 1973, it
created more of an image of
stability and permanency.
With the continued growth
of Lumbee Bank over the past
15 years, there has been a real
economic impact in the com
munity. Many businesses
were assisted in inception by
the Lumbee Rank. With len
ding in the local market, many
jobs were created which poss
ibly would not have occurred
otherwise.
In August 1977 James Hunt
became President of Lumbee
Bank. Under Mr. Hunt's
leadership the Bank experi
enced rapid growth from
15,000,000 to $10,000,000 in
total assets. Mr. Hunt left the
Bank in August of 1984 and
was replaced by Curtis Pierce
as President. Mr. Pierce had
begun with the Bank in 1971
as the Bank's Cashier.
The Bank has had custom
ers such as General Motors,
Chrysler Corporation, Ford
Motors Duoont, etc. But as
with all community banks, the
real support has come from
the local community.
Hie Bank has strived to be
a part of the community by
providing a personable ser
vice and staying competitive.
The present building hous
ing Lumbee Bank has been
expanded twice and looks to
more expansion in the near
future. As the surrounding
area grows, so will the
Lumbee Bank.
Presently the Directors of
Lumbee Bank are Arnold
Locklear, Chairman; Dr.
Martin Brooks; Larry Brooks;
Redell Collins; Sybil Bullard;
Carl Ricky Jones; and Charles
Alton Maynor.
The officers are Curtis
Pierce, CEO; James Hedg
peth. Sr. Vice President;
Thresia Locklear, Vice Presi
dent; Linda Chavis, Cashier;
Charles Jowers, Assistant
Vice President. The manage
ment and staff are working
towards better quality ser
vice, future expansion, and
improvement in economics of
the communities Lumbee
Bank serves. The next fifteen
years of service to the Lumbee
Bank market will progress at
an even greater pace than the
past.

or's Club together, meaning
they pledge to donate $1,000 a
year to PSU"s Foundation,
Inc., for the next ten years.
Hie gift by Rev. Maynor,
11. is indeed meaningful
because he was the first
graduate of Pembroke State
when it became a four year
college in the 1939 40 aca
demic year. fembroRe auue
was on the quarter system
then, and Maynor completed
his work in the second of three
quarters.
"I finished in March, but
was asked to come back in
June for the commencement
exercises," said Maynor. "Re
cause I was the first graduate,
they placed me at the front of
the line' and the others in
alphabetical order behind
me."
Rev. Maynor also had the
distinction of carrying the
golden mace last Sept. 3 for
the PSU convocation which
launched the University's
centennial year.
Charles Wesley Maynor
graduated with a B.S. it
education, while his son,
Charles Alton Maynor, earn
ed his degree at PSU in 1963
with a B.S. in mathematics.
Hie younger Maynor later
earned his M.A. in Educa
tional Administration through
PSUs cooperative Master's
program with Appalachian
State University during the
mid-1970's.
This father and son repre
sent the 34th and 35th mem
bers of the PSU Chancellor's
"Club, the most supportive
group financially of the Uni
versity.
The senior Maynor, who is
serving as interim pastor of
Bear Swamp Baptist Church
near Pembroke, is a retired
teacher, farmer and minister.
He said he is providing this
financial support to PSU "be
cause my life would have been
different had it not beerr for
this institution. I owe so much
to it. And in giving t? it, I
hope it encourages others to
do the same."
Kev. Maynor said Education
opened all kinds of doors for
him. His services to the
community have included his
serving ^as chairman of the
board of the Id ml tee Bank for
nine years. "When I first
went off the board, my son,
Charles Alton Maynor, took
my place on it," said Rev.
Maynor.
The younger Maynor. who
is 45, has served as a teacher
and principal in the Robeson
County Schools system. He is
now a member of the
Board of Education. He also
served actively in the U.S.
Army, went to Officers Can
didate School, and has been
commanding officer of the
U.S. Army Reserve Ur.it at
Pembroke.
While a student at PSU, the
younger Maynor was
representative to the student
government and a member of
"Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities."
Charles Alton Maynor and
his wife, the former Shelia
Oxendine, opened Southern
Interiors at Pembroke
three and a half years ago.
They contributed the carpet
ing for the Braves Club Room .
at PSU and shared in the neat
carpeting of the room
The younger Maynor said
that Oceanus Lowry (of Pem
broke) came to see him awhile
back about providing financial
support to PSU. "I told hira
then that my father and t
would like to be tha flnt
father and son team to join the
Chancellor's Club together,
and now we are following
through with that commit
ment," said Maytior.
"Education has been an
integral part of my life. ft. is
my love--and I want to have
some role in the educational
program of this area. Td I ke
to be an example in this
regard,"' stated Maynor.
Rev. Maynor is married to
; the former Arpie Cummings
of Pembroke. They are par
ents of six children, three of
whom graduated from PSU.
The ones along with Charles
Alton who graduated from
PSU are Edith Maynor Taykn
of Chesapeake, Va., and
Eunila Maynor locklear of
Pembroke.
Chancellor Paul Givens of
rSU, whose gifts to the new
Chancellor's Club members
included new hard-bound
editions of the centennial
history of PSU. told the father
and son: "We of Pembroke
9late are delighted that you
are joining. This institution
has made a great contribution
to this area and will continue
to do so long after you and I
are gone."
