Miriam Carson White Williams is the first woman known to have been president of a U.S.-based bank.[1] Williams (1831-1910) became President of the State National Bank of Raleigh, NC, in 1879, upon the death her husband, then-President John Griffith Williams (1827-1879).
Personal Life
[edit]Williams had five daughters, all of whom attended the Nash & Kollock School, founded in the Frederick Nash home by his two daughters, Sarah K. Nash and Maria J. Nash, and their cousin, Sarah Jane Kollock, who was an alumna of the Burwell School. Margaret's husband, Charles E. Cross, succeeded Miriam Williams as President of the State National Bank of Raleigh. In 1888, Cross, and Miriam's brother, Samuel C. White, who also worked at the Bank, stole the Bank's funds and absconded to Canada, ultimately causing the collapse of the bank.[2][3]
Williams died in 1910 and is buried in the historic Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh, NC. [4]
