Cornerstone to Purchase Ashton State Bank

YORK--Cornerstone Bank of York announced today that they have entered into an agreement to purchase the Ashton State Bank at Ashton, Nebraska. The Ashton State Bank has total assets of approximately $19 million with deposits in excess of $17 million and loans in excess of $11 million. The purchase is subject to regulatory approval with a closing date expected to be in the third quarter of 2022.

Kelly Holthus, Chairman of Cornerstone Bank and First York Ban Corp., states that they are very pleased to be a part of the Ashton Community. Cornerstone Bank has long been committed to the agricultural sector of the economy and also in serving many smaller communities in Central Nebraska. The management of the Bank feels this move will be a further enhancement to expand their banking footprint.

The Badura Family incorporated Ashton State Bank in September, 1908 and the family has had continual ownership since that time. Cornerstone appreciates the opportunity to purchase the bank from the Badura Family.

As of June 30, 2022, Cornerstone Bank had $2.1 billion in assets and with the acquisition of Ashton, Cornerstone will have 47 banking facilities in 38 communities along with 18 insurance locations. Cornerstone Bank has banking facilities in the following communities in Nebraska: Albion, Aurora, Bartlett, Beaver Lake, Bradshaw, Central City, Clay Center, Clearwater, Columbus, Creighton, Davenport, Edgar, Franklin, Geneva, Glenvil, Grand Island, Guide Rock, Hampton, Harvard, Henderson, Hildreth, McCool Junction, Malmo, Marquette, Monroe, Murray, North Loup, Polk, Rising City, Shelton, St. Edward, Stromsburg, Sutton, Tilden, Waco, Wilcox and York.
