From Arnold and Clark's History of Whittier, 1933:--

"Washington Hadley died December 21, 1911 and was succeeded in the presidency of the First National bank by his son, Albert Hadley, who had been associated with his father in the bank of Lawrence, KS and who was for many years cashier of the National Bank of California in Los Angeles. He was a very popular banker, who deserved and received the confidence of a wide circle of friends. At his death his son Fred W. Hadley became president."
