                                 PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of

the close of business on February 16, 1999, will be eligible to vote at the

Shareholder of record on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each
share. Cumulative voting is not authorized. The approximate date for making
available this Proxy Statement and the form of proxy to Shareholders is March 8,

calculating voting results on those matters for which the shareholder has
abstained or the broker has not voted.

     The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by 1st Source. In
addition to the use of mails, proxies may be solicited through personal
interview, telephone, and telegraph by directors, officers and regular employees
of 1st Source without additional remuneration therefor.



                                  REVOCABILITY

     Shareholders may revoke their proxies at any time prior to the meeting by
giving written notice to Vincent A. Tamburo, Secretary, 1st Source Corporation,

                                TO BE ACTED UPON

     The Board of Directors knows of no matters to come before the Annual
Meeting other than the matters referred to in this Proxy Statement. However, if
any other matters should properly come before the meeting, the persons named in
the enclosed proxy intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment. No
director, nominee for election as director, nor officer of 1st Source has any
special interest in any matter to be voted upon other than election to the Board
of Directors. Directors, officers, and voting trustees have indicated that they
intend to vote for all directors as listed in Proposal Number 1.



                    PROPOSAL NUMBER 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
                        DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

     The last Shareholders' meeting at which directors were elected was held on
April 16, 1998. At that meeting, 90.6% of the shares outstanding were
represented in person or by proxy. Directors were voted upon separately. All
directors received a majority of the votes cast.

     The Board of Directors is divided into three (3) groups of directors whose
terms expire at different times. At this meeting, one (1) director is to be
elected and three (3) directors are to be reelected to hold office until April,
2002, or until the qualification and election of a successor. Directors will be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast. The following information is submitted
for each nominee as well as each director and each non-director executive
officer continuing in office.

    immediate household of the following director, who disclaims beneficial
    ownership of such securities: Christopher J. Murphy III, 1,275,429 shares.

commitments were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates

other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility,
or present other unfavorable features. Credit underwriting procedures followed
were no less stringent than those for comparable transactions with other
borrowers.

(1) Mr. Murphy, Mr. Jones, Mr. Qualey, Mr. Stifel, and Mr. Lentych (the
    "Executives") signed Employment Agreements (the "Agreements") in April 1998.
    Mr. Murphy's Agreement provides for a $450,000 base salary, increasing to
    $500,000 effective March 1, 1999, with annual increases thereafter of not
    less than 5% and cash bonus payments based on a formula computed in a manner
    similar to the awards to executives under the Executive Incentive Plan and
    Long-Term Executive Award Program. Under the other four Agreements Mr.
    Jones, Mr. Qualey, Mr. Stifel and Mr. Lentych will receive base salaries of
    $250,000, $175,000, $165,000 and $135,000, respectively, with annual
    increases as may be determined by 1st Source, and cash and stock bonuses
    determined under the Executive Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Executive
    Award Program. The Agreements permit gross-up payments necessary to cover
    possible excise tax payments by the Executives and to reimburse the
    Executives for legal fees that might be expended in enforcing the
    Agreements' provisions or contesting tax issues relating to the Agreements'
    parachute provisions. Mr. Murphy's Agreement is a five-year agreement which
    is extended from year to year unless either party gives notice not to
    extend. The Agreements for Mr. Jones, Mr. Qualey, Mr. Stifel, and Mr.
    Lentych expire on December 31 of the years 2003, 2003, 2001, and 2001,
    respectively. In each case their Agreement will be extended from year to
    year thereafter unless either party gives notice not to extend. In the event
    of disability, the Executives will receive their base salary for up to one
    year, in addition to other disability programs in effect for all officers of
    1st Source. Additionally, 1st Source has eliminated death benefits
    previously provided to Mr. Murphy and instead has entered into a
    split-dollar life insurance agreement with Mr. Murphy which insures the
    lives of Mr. Murphy and his wife for $10.2 million. If any of the Executives
    terminate employment because of any adverse change in their status, he will
    continue to receive his base salary for a period of twelve months after his
    termination. If any of the Executives terminate employment within one year
    of a change in control (which term includes any third party which becomes
    beneficial owner of 50%, or in the case of Mr. Murphy, 20%, or more of the
    outstanding stock of 1st Source, the election of a majority of new directors
    in connections with a sale, merger, other business combination or contested
    Board of Directors election, or any approval of any transaction which
    results in a disposition of substantially all of the assets of 1st Source),
    he will receive severance pay in cash equal to 2.99 times his "Annualized
    Includable Compensation" (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986, as amended.) The Agreements also include restrictive covenants which
    provide, among other things, that the Executives not compete with 1st Source
    in bank or bank-related services within certain designated counties of
    Indiana or divulge confidential information or trade secrets for a
    twenty-four month period after termination of employment.

(2) Mr. Qualey became an executive officer in 1997.

(3) 1st Source has an Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which is
    administered by the Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of
    the Board. Awards under the Plan consist of cash and "Book Value" shares of
    Common Stock. "Book Value" shares are awarded annually on a discretionary
    basis and are subject to forfeiture over a period of five (5) years. The
    Plan shares may only be sold to 1st Source, and such sale is mandatory in
    the event of death, retirement, disability or termination of employment. 1st
    Source may terminate or extend the Plan at any time.

     During February 1996 and March 1991, 1st Source granted special long-term
     incentive awards (the "Awards") to participants in the Executive Incentive
     Plan administered by the Committee. The 1996 Award was granted for the
     attainment of the company's long-term goals for 1995 which were set in
     1990. The 1991 Award was granted for the attainment of the company's
     long-term return on assets goal for 1990, set in 1986. Both Awards were
     split between cash and 1st Source Common Stock valued at the market price
     at the time of the award. Such shares are subject to forfeiture over a
     period of ten (10) years. The first 10% of these shares was vested at the
     grant of the Award. Subsequent vesting requires (i) the participant to
     remain an employee of 1st Source and (ii) that 1st Source be profitable on
     an annual basis based on the determination of the Committee.

     1st Source also has a Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "Restricted Plan")
     for key employees. Awards under the Restricted Plan are made to employees
     recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee.
     Shares awarded under the Restricted Plan are subject to forfeiture over a
     ten (10) year period. Vesting is based upon meeting certain criteria,
     including continued employment by 1st Source.

     The bonus amounts represent the annual cash awards under the Plan, the 1998
     Performance Compensation Plan and other cash bonuses. Vested stock under
     the Plan, the Awards and the Restricted Plan is included in the LTIP
     column. The value placed on "Book Value" shares is the book value per share
     as of December 31 of each year. The value placed on market value shares is
     market value as of December 31 of each year. Mr. Murphy receives this
     vested amount in cash.

     Unvested stock holdings under the Plan, the Awards and the Restricted Plan
     as of December 31, 1998, are as follows:

(4)  For 1998 Mr. Murphy's amount in the "All Other Compensation" column
     includes $119,172 for the current value on an actuarial basis of his
     split-dollar life insurance agreement. All other amounts reported in the
     "All Other Compensation" column represent 1st Source contributions to
     defined contribution retirement plans.

   (1) Mr. Murphy will receive his vested awards in cash.

   (2) Vesting of awards is tied to 1st Source achieving an 8% annual increase
       in net income over the next five years. Twenty percent (20%) of the award
       vests each year based on attaining the performance.

                        COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS
                            AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

   During 1998, Mr. Murphy served as a member of the compensation committee of
Quality Dining, Inc. Director Fitzpatrick is an executive officer of Quality
Dining, Inc.

                     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

   1st Source officers are reviewed once a year by their immediate supervisor.
The review covers a variety of management and professional characteristics and
performance relative to individual, group, and company goals.

   The performance review is an integral part of 1st Source's Salary
Administration Program. All positions are rated and placed in a salary range.
Annually, with our approval, management establishes a salary performance grid
that sets the range of merit increases that may be given to officers depending
on their review and their respective position (lower, middle or upper third) in
their respective salary range.

   The categories of performance under the Company's review program are:

       -  Substantially and consistently exceeds job requirements; 
       -  Often exceeds job requirements; 
       -  Meets and sometimes exceeds job requirements; 
       -  Meets some job requirements, improvement is required; and 
       -  Does not meet minimal job requirements.

 Management awards salary increases as determined under the guidelines of the
Salary Administration Program in conformance with the salary performance grid
and the annual budget.

   All of the officers reported herein, including Mr. Murphy, are under the 1st
Source Salary Administration Program. In his case, he is evaluated by us against
a series of objectives set in the Company's annual budget plan and in its
long-term strategic plan as annually approved by our full Board. Under the
Company's Salary Administration Program, Mr. Murphy was due for a review in
September 1997. This was postponed, and in February 1998, we reviewed Mr.
Murphy's salary in connection with his promotion to Chairman. We reviewed his
performance relative to achieving 1997's goals and his progress toward 1998's.
The Company had again exceeded its quantitative objectives in 1997 and again met
most of its qualitative objectives as



                                       11

<PAGE>   14


well. We determined that Mr. Murphy's performance "substantially and
consistently exceeds job requirements," and he was therefore eligible to receive
a 6% to 8% base salary increase. He also was eligible for a promotional increase
of 10% to 15%.

   In addition to using the company's Salary Administration Program, we compared
Mr. Murphy's compensation, both base salary and bonus, with compensation levels
for CEO's of bank holding companies of comparable size and performance in the
Midwest and nationally. We reviewed compensation comparisons and bank
performance data prepared by Ben S. Cole Financial Corporation, the Bank
Administration Institute, Sheshunoff and Company, Wyatt Company, and the Indiana
Bankers Association. Based on these factors, we determined it to be in the best
interest of the Company to increase Mr. Murphy's salary to $450,000 at the time
of his promotion in April 1998 and to $500,000 effective March 1, 1999.

   Bonuses under 1st Source's Executive Incentive Plan are determined annually
following the close of the year. The bonus is calculated based on the officer's
"partnership level" adjusted for the Company's performance relative to plan and
for the individual's performance relative to weighted objectives set at the
beginning of the year. In Mr. Murphy's case, the base bonus calculation is 25%
of his salary. For each 1% that the company varies from its profit plan for the
year, the base bonus is adjusted up or down by 2.5%.

   Once the base bonus is calculated, an officer can receive 100% to 300% of the
amount depending on their individual performance. As with all Executive
Incentive Plan participants, the reviewer assesses performance relative to an
agreed upon set of objectives. In Mr. Murphy's case, these are the annual
business objectives and the Company's long-term goals as approved by the Board.
In 1998, the Company continued the expansion of its branch network, generally
exceeded its annual financial and credit quality goals and generally met its
qualitative goals. Accordingly, Mr. Murphy was awarded a bonus of $232,560 for
1998's performance.

   Under the Company's Executive Incentive Plan, 50% of the Executive Incentive
Plan bonus will be paid in cash in March 1999 to Mr. Murphy. The other 50% is
subject to forfeiture over the next five (5) years. The forfeiture lapses
ratably for each year Mr. Murphy remains with the Company and for each year or
period of years the Company grows its net income by a minimum of 8% per year.
During this period, the "at risk" portion of the bonus is delineated in book
value stock but is paid in cash to Mr. Murphy as the forfeiture lapses. The
Company's Executive Incentive Program limits bonuses, at time of award, to 75%
of salary.

   In addition, the Executive Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Murphy a cash
bonus of $775,500 under the 1998 Performance Compensation Plan approved by the
shareholders and based on goals established by us at the beginning of 1998. This
bonus was awarded in recognition of 1st Source's achievement of those goals, as
well as 1st Source's continued excellent stock and financial performance in
comparison to its peer bank holding companies.

   The executive officers were granted stock options during 1998 in conjunction
with their promotions and their assumption of additional responsibilities.

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

    The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and
directors to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of 1st Source
Corporation stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish 1st
Source with copies of all reports filed. Based solely on a review of the copies
of such reports furnished to 1st Source and written representations from the
executive officers and directors that no other reports were required, 1st Source
believes that all filing requirements were complied with during the last fiscal
year, except that Mr. Pfeil, Mr. Qualey and Mr. Lentych each filed late one
report covering a single transaction.



                RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

    The financial statements of 1st Source are audited annually by independent
accountants. For the year ended December 31, 1998, and the nine (9) preceding
years, the audit was performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, South Bend,
