PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Ohio State
Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") in connection with the solicitation of proxies to
be used in voting at the Annual Meeting of shareholders to be held on April 15,
1999, at the main office of the Company located at 111 S. Main Street, Marion,
Ohio, 43302, at 5:00 p.m. ("The Meeting"). The enclosed proxy is solicited by
the Board of Directors of the Company. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed
form of proxy are first sent or delivered to the Company's shareholders on or
about March 24, 1999.
All shareholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at
any time. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be
voted at the Meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies may be revoked at any
time before they are exercised at the Meeting by filing a written notice with
the Secretary of the Company or by delivering to the Secretary of the Company
subsequently dated proxies prior to the commencement of the meeting. A written
notice of revocation of a proxy should be sent to the Secretary of Ohio State
Bancshares, Inc., 111 South Main Street, Marion, Ohio 43302. A previously
submitted proxy will also be revoked if a shareholder attends the Meeting and
votes in person. In the event a shareholder attends the Meeting and does not
wish to have his proxy used, he/she should notify the Secretary of the Company
prior to the start of the business meeting. Proxies solicited by the Board of
Directors of the Company will be voted in accordance with the directions given
therein. Where no instructions are indicated, proxies will be voted for the
nominees for director set forth below and in accordance with the judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company on any other matters which may properly come
before the meeting.
VOTING SECURITIES
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 18,
1999, are entitled to one vote for each share then held. As of February 18,
1999, the Company had 131,674 shares of common stock issued, outstanding and
entitled to vote. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share of common
stock owned as of the record date and have the right, subject to the
requirements of advance notice to the Company as provided by law, to vote
cumulatively in the election of directors. Cumulative voting permits a
shareholder to multiply the number of shares held by the number of directors to
be elected, and cast those votes for one candidate or spread those votes among
several candidates as he or she deems appropriate.
VOTING PROCEDURES
A quorum consists of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker
non-votes (arising from the absence of discretionary authority on the part of a
broker-dealer to vote shares of Common Stock held in street name for customer
accounts) are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum for the transaction of business.
<PAGE> 4
3
The three nominees for director who receive the largest number of votes
cast "For" will be elected as directors if a quorum is present. Shares
represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy but withheld or
otherwise not cast for the election of directors, including abstentions and
broker non-votes, will have no impact on the outcome of the election.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

approximately one-third of whom stand for election each year. The nominees for
election will stand for election to a three-year term expiring at the Annual
Shareholder's meeting in 2002. It is intended that the persons named in the
proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will vote for the election of the
nominees.
As of February 18, 1999, the following persons were known to the
company to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the company's

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company's sole business activity is the operation of its subsidiary
banking operation "The Marion Bank" hereinafter referred sometimes individually
as "Bank" or collectively with the Company as "Company." The Boards of Directors
of the Bank and the Company are comprised of the same persons at the present
time. Disclosure of information regarding committees is therefore presented for

The Board of Directors of the Company conducts its business through
meetings of the Board. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Board
of Directors of the Company held a total of fourteen (14) regular and special
meetings. Each director of the Company attended at least 75 percent of the total
meetings of the Board and committees on which such Board member served during
this period, with the exception of F. Winton Lackey, who attended 56% of such
meetings, and Lloyd L. Johnston, who attended 55% of such meetings.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT
Although the Company has no formal written employment contracts, Mr.
Pendleton, President and Chief Executive Officer has entered into a "Severance
Agreement Due to Change of Control of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc." (the "Change
of Control Agreement") with the Company dated August 7, 1991 and amended
February 5, 1993. The Change of Control Agreement provides for a payment to Mr.
Pendleton of an amount equal to two (2) times his average annual salary during
the last five years upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control of the Company.
In addition, like payments would be made in the case of an executive's voluntary
termination for "good cause" as defined in the Change of Control Agreements
including a change in the executive's status, title, position, salary,
relocation of the Company's principal executive offices outside a 35 mile radius
of Marion or failure to provide comparable benefits to those currently provided.
The Change of Control Agreement also provides for the payment of any legal fees
by the executive in order to enforce such Change of Control Agreement.
Notwithstanding other provisions of the Change of Control Agreement, a
termination of the employee "for cause" as defined in the Change of Control
Agreement, would not result in the triggering of the severance or termination
benefits under the Change of Control Agreement.
Change of Control of the Company" is defined in the Change of Control
Agreement to mean: (I) the acquisition by a person or persons acting in concert
with the power to vote 33 percent or more of a class of the Company's voting
securities; or (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years during the
term of the Change of Control Agreements individuals who, at the beginning of
such period, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, if in the instance
mentioned in subparagraphs (I) or (ii), the employment of one of the executives
is terminated involuntarily within one year of such change of control.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
During 1996, the Corporation entered into an Executive Indexed Salary
Continuation Plan ("Supplemental Plan") with Mr. Pendleton. The purpose of the
Supplemental Plan is to supplement Mr. Pendleton's retirement income. Pursuant
to the terms of the Supplemental Plan, annually the Company will accrue a
non-qualified pension benefit for the benefit of Mr. Pendleton in an amount
equal to the excess return earned on a Company owned insurance product (the
"Policy") over the Bank's average after tax cost of funds expense as reported
for the third quarter of each year. At Mr. Pendleton's retirement he will be
entitled to receive the accrued deferred benefits in a lump sum cash payment or
on an annuity basis. It is impossible to predict the future value of such
deferred compensation due to the uncertainty of the future Policy yield. The
Policy is currently valued at $84,838 upon which a guaranteed rate of 4% is
called for under its terms. For 1998 the Company accrued no expense under the
terms of this plan for the benefit of Mr. Pendleton. The benefits accrued under
the Supplemental Plan are subject to a vesting schedule except in the case of
death, disability or a change of control of the Company.
In addition, contemporaneously with the adoption of the Supplemental
Plan, the Corporation and Mr. Pendleton entered into a Split Dollar Life
Insurance Agreement which provides for the payment, to Mr. Pendleton's
beneficiaries, of 80% of the net-at-risk insurance portion of an insurance
policy purchased by the Corporation in connection with the establishment of the
Supplemental Plan. As of December 31, 1996, this Split Dollar Life Insurance
Agreement would have provided a death benefit of $924,098 to Mr. Pendleton's
beneficiaries. The Corporation purchased life insurance for the purpose of
funding its obligations under the Supplemental Plan in the event of Mr.
Pendleton's death and as an investment vehicle designed to fund the payments to
Mr. Pendleton at retirement.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Directors are paid $300 per month and $100 per month is retained and
paid at year end provided Board attendance is not less than 75%. The Chairman of
the Board receives $350 per month and $125 per month is retained and paid at
year end provided Board attendance is not less than 75%.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Some of the directors of the Company, as well as the companies with
which such directors are associated, are customers of, and have had transactions
with the Company (through The Marion Bank) in the ordinary course of the
Company's business in 1998. These transactions consisted of extensions of credit
in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons. In the opinion of
management of the company an its subsidiaries, these transactions do not involve
more than normal risk of collectible or present other unfavorable features.
<PAGE> 10

The Company, through is subsidiary, expects to have in the future,
banking transactions, in the ordinary course of its business with directors,
officers, principal shareholders, and their associates, on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those
prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others and which do
not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features.
SELECTION OF AUDITORS
The Board of Directors has selected the firm of Crowe, Chizek and
Company LLP, independent public accountants, to serve as auditors for the
current fiscal year.
Representatives of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP will be present at the
Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and
will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by
regulation of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company or written representations that no Form 5s, (Annual Statement of
Beneficial Ownership of Securities) were required, the Company believes that
during 1997 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers and
Directors were satisfied. The Company has no shareholders who are ten percent
beneficial owners.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
If any shareholder of the Company wishes to submit a proposal to be
included in next year's Proxy Statement and acted upon at the annual meeting to
be held in 2000, the proposal must be received by the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc., 111 South Main Street, Marion,
Ohio 43302, prior to the close of business on November 16, 1999. On any other
proposal raised by a shareholder for the next year's annual meeting, the Company
intends that proxies received by it will be voted in the interest of the Company
in accordance with the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company and the
proposal will be considered untimely, unless notice of the proposal is received
by the Company not later than January 30, 2000.
<PAGE> 11

The Company's bylaws establish advance notice procedures as to the
nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, of
candidates for election as directors. In order to make a director nomination at
a shareholder meeting it is necessary that you notify the Company not fewer than
14 days in advance of the meeting unless the Company provides shareholders less
than 21 days notice of the meeting and then notice of the nominations must be
given not later than the seventh day after the notice of the meeting was mailed.
In addition, the notice must meet all other requirements contained in our
Bylaws. Any shareholder who wishes to take such action should obtain a copy of
those Bylaws and may do so by written request addressed to the Secretary of the
Company at the principal executive offices of the Company.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors of the Corporation is not aware of any other
matters that may come before the meeting. However, the enclosed Proxy will
confer discretionary authority with respect to matters which are not known to
the Board of Directors at the time of printing hereof and which may properly
come before the meeting. A copy of the Corporation's 1998 report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, on Form 10-KSB, is available without charge
to shareholders. Address all requests, in writing, for this document to Mr. Gary
