Description

OCR is poor. The sole article (Springfield Leader and Press, 1931-11-12) contains the headline fragment CLOSE BANK AT MARCELINE indicating the Bank of Marceline was closed. No explicit mention of a preceding depositor run is present in the excerpt, nor is there text stating a receivership or government takeover, but the wording indicates the bank was closed permanently. Cause not specified in the text so set to 'other'.
