Frank Zuspan's late father banked there, and one of his sons has an account Zuspan called Hudson when she retired to wish her well. "I don't know about these new people coming in, but if it was up to me, I'd follow Faye or Maye," Zuspan said.

Smith joined the bank first, taking a job after her husband died and left her with an infant son. About 10 years later, Hudson became a teller and Smith was named treasurer. Smith was appointed president about 15 years ago.

Though Hudson is older by a few minutes, she has happily followed her sister up the little bank's corporate ladder. "Oh, maybe she's a little more aggressive," Hudson said.
