In 1892 Frank W. Striemer and his family emigrated
from Germany to the United States. They settled in Fairmont,
Minnesota. On September 5, 1911, at the age of twenty-two, Frank
Striemer founded the Farmers and Merchants State Bank of Alpha. The
Bank has survived and thrived throughout the years. Today the Bank
is still owned and managed by the founder’s family. It is one of the
few independent banks in the state that has been continuously owned
and operated by the founder’s family. The daughter of the founder
Helen Striemer Meium has been president of the bank since 1992.
Harlow K. Meium who was president for 25 years is Senior Vice
President and the Chairman of the Board. Two of their four children
are the third generation of the founder’s family to take part in the
management of the Bank. Paul H. Meium is Chief Executive Officer and
Cashier and has been with the Bank since 1982. Evangelane J. Meium
is Vice President and has been with the Bank since 1990.
