The History of Home Federal

February 12, 1889

Founding Directors:
H. C. Freshour, J. A. Jolly, A. G. Berry, J. M. Ferguson, J. S. Akers, Jacob Leicht, and W. H. Hunter were elected as directors of the Home and Savings Fund Association on February 11,1889, by the share holders.  H. C. Freshour was elected as the first president.

This is from the original ledger and was the beginning of Home Federal which was later chartered as a Federal Savings and Loan Association.   Over the years the business grew and the office moved from its 15th street location in 1956 to a permanent home at 1500 Carter Avenue, Ashland, Ky where a new office building was constructed in 2007.
