The bank changed its name to the Liberty National Bank in January 1918 during a waive of anti-German hysteria that swept Covington and other parts of the country. To read about what mob ignorance is capable of, we urge you to read Lisa Gilliam's great piece from the Kentucky Heritage Magazine, which will give you all the ugly details. It's a big pdf, but well worth your time. You can find it here. Thanks to Lisa Gilliam and the Kentucky Heritage magazine for permission to post it!
