Description

Newspaper notices (1946–1947) repeatedly list H. W. Bunston as Receiver of the Hardin State Bank, indicating the bank was in receivership (closed) and involved in court/estate matters. No article text describes a depositor run or reopening; therefore classified as suspension leading to closure/receivership. Earliest evidence of receivership appears in the Aug 1, 1946 issue.
