Description

Multiple contemporaneous newspaper reports (mid-July 1895) state the Bank of Norborne was placed in the hands of a receiver upon application of the Assistant/Attorney General Jordan. No articles describe a depositor run prior to suspension; the action appears to be a government-filed receivership (permanent closure). Cape Girardeau Democrat explicitly notes they are state banks.
