Josiah Nettlering, 1848



A Photo of Josiah Nettlering, 1848

Always a dour child, Mr. Nettlering matured into a serious and business-minded Narwhal. He worked as head teller at the biggest bank in New York City and enjoyed the honour of 'least money unaccounted for' seventeen years in a row. Patrons of the bank became used to his stern attitude, and many found his steely glare and silk waistcoats oddly comforting. Mr. Nettlering died peacefully while counting money and a plaque, which can still be seen today, was erected in his honour.
