Articles (Mar–May 1925) report the Bank of Fairview was closed and that plans/new directors were in place for reopening. No articles describe a depositor run; closure appears to be a suspension with a planned reopening. Exact date of initial suspension is not given in the clippings. OCR seems correct for names and dates.
