Description

Article (The Sun, 1893-08-20) reports the Bank of Marionville failed during the last two weeks but resumed business yesterday (relative to Aug 19, 1893). The piece gives no explicit description of a depositor run; therefore I classify this as a suspension (failure) followed by reopening. Exact suspension date not given; reopening reported Aug 18, 1893.
