Description

Articles (Nov–Dec 1930) describe the Bank of Ritchey as having suspended business and being placed into liquidation with the First National Bank of Neosho acting as liquidating agent and advertising a public sale of the bank's real and personal property for December 22, 1930. No run or depositor disturbance is described. OCR errors in the text (missing months/days and garbled phrases) were present; I corrected obvious fragments (e.g., liquidating agent, suspended business, sale date Dec 22, 1930). The suspension appears to be regulatory/administrative with a liquidation rather than a depositor run.
