#OnthisDay in 1934, we made our first deposit insurance claim payment of $1,250 to Lydia Lobsiger, reimbursing her life savings following the failure of Fon Du Lac State Bank in East Peoria, Illinois.
I wonder if Lydia knew that her deposit insurance claim payment would go down in history?!
Lydia Lobsiger was restored the entire amount of her modest life savings. An important transaction for Lydia and for the FDIC.

2wDuring my employment with FDIC in 3/2009 working in claims FDIC did the best they could to help and restore life savings of so many depositors with kindness and in a professional manner. I loved and enjoyed working for FDIC .
