About that time he was made cashier of the Northfield National Bank, with which he has been connected to the present time. In due course, he was made vice-president of the Bank and then president, which office he has held for many years. Mr. Edgerton has always been much interested in educational work. For many years he was a member of the Northfield School Board, was trustee of Montpelier Seminary for many years, and has long been active in the work of the Methodist Episcopal church.
