When I received my free brochure from Bob Lindstrom regarding his family heirloom I have always been on the look out for itmes related to the Rinckel family. This is what i was able to find from The Bullion and Exchange Bank in Carson City.

Mark,
Your check also displays the signature of the bank's cashier, George W. Richard. Mr. Richard, who was born in Yuba City, CA in 1852, first arrived in Carson City with his family in 1859. At the age of 12, in 1864, he served as a page in the first Nevada State Legislature. In his early twenties, he got a job with Wells Fargo in Carson City (probably worked with Henry F. Rice, a one-time superintendent at the Carson City Mint).
Later he served as Nevada's Deputy State Treasurer, and even served two temporary terms as state treasurer. He lost a bid to get elected as permanent state treasurer, and then, in 1896, he went to work for the Bullion and Exchange Bank in Carson City, where he worked for another ex-Carson Mint superindent, T. Robert Hofer.
The Bullion and Exchange Bank sent Mr. Richard to Tonopah, NV to open a branch there. A few years later, the State Bank and Trust Comapny took over the Bullion and Exchange, and sent G. W. Richard in 1904 to open a branch in Goldfield, NV.
Below is an image of George W. Richard when he was Deputy State Treasurer in 1889:
Mr. Richard left the banking business and eventually owned his own hardware and grocery business, the Richard Mercantile Company, Inc. After surviving the finacial panic of 1907, he went on to live a long and prosperous life. His son, LeRoy L. Richard, became a successful businesman in the Visalia, CA area.
Just imagine the stories G. W. Richard told his friends about the adventures he experienced when he lived in three of Nevada's famous boom towns: Carson City, Tonopah, and Goldfield.
So you see Mark, what windows of history an image like your check to Louise Rinckel can open.
