Description

Newspaper legal notices from 1949–1950 repeatedly refer to Carl Bowman, liquidator for the First National Bank of Hardin, indicating the bank was in liquidation/receiver status and not reopening. No articles describe a depositor run. An earlier 1937 line item shows First Nat'l Bank (assigned) which also suggests assignment/receiver activity pre-1949. I therefore classify this as a suspension/closure with receivership/liquidation. Dates are based on the publication dates of the notices; the exact suspension date is not stated in the clippings.
