Very early small stock certificate issued in 1836 for thirty shares. Signed by Wm. Dearing as president. Small train illustration. Pen cancelled with some tears and soiling. The Georgia Railroad Company was chartered in 1833 to build a railroad from Athens to Augusta. Banking was added in 1836. This proved to be the more rewarding business, so they leased their railroading operations and became one of the strongest banks in Georgia.
