How did the donner parents keep the 10 thousand dollars safe

The Donner parents put their money in a bank to keep it safe.

There are actually two ways that the donner parents kept there money save they either could put in the bank but even though it might be safe there it could also not. because there are robbers or alot of more accidents. another safe way would have your own safe in your house because you would be more around it then a bank and nobody would know your lock except you and who ever else you tell
