Description

Newspapers report the Sedalia National Bank suspended May 4, 1894 with a $256,000 shortage (bank-specific adverse information) and is later described as defunct. In 1933 the Comptroller appointed Wm. Koenig receiver for the Sedalia National Bank; 1936 notices show the receiver selling bank assets. No standalone run is described in the articles. Dates: suspension explicitly May 4, 1894; receivership actions in Oct 1933 (appointment reported Oct 11, 1933 article) and asset sale advertisements in Aug–Sep 1936. OCR garbling in the 1933 article obscures the exact Oct day for the Sedalia National Bank receivership; I use Oct 1933 for the receivership event and list sale ad dates as given.
