Citizens insurance is Presented “Business of the Month”

The Crosbyton Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture is pleased to announce that Citizens Insurance is the business of the month.

Citizens Insurance is located at 209 S. Berkshire with hours from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  The insurance company is an affiliate of Caprock Insurance in Ralls, Texas and is owned by Terry Rainwater.  Citizens provides personal lines of insurance for homeowners, auto, R.V., motorcycles, and boats.  They provide bonding for employees.   They also can insure commercial properties and provide liability insurance for businesses.  It is managed by Katherine Foster who has worked in the business for forty-four years.  Her assistant, Alex Sanchez, has been with Citizens for six months.

Katherine provided an interesting history of Citizens Insurance.  It was founded by partners Wade Cooper, Russell McCurdy, Leslie Mitchell, and F.M. Dunn in 1929 making it one of Crosbyton’s oldest businesses.  The partners, who were also part of Citizens National Bank, used the name Citizens for their insurance firm also.  At the depths of the depression in 1932, the business bought another agency for the sum of $112.70.  In 1960 Jimmy Dunn joined his father F.M. in the agency.  Katherine went to work for the agency in 1974 and became a partner in 1988.  Except for brief absences, she has worked there ever since.

She and Mary Dunn sold the agency to Terry Rainwater in 1991 following the death of Jimmy Dunn.  Truly, Citizens is a business with deep roots in Crosby County and the desire to serve its citizens.
