Description

Article (Savannah Morning News, 1886-12-23) reports that D. M. Tomlin and Burk Calvin, bankers of Akron, failed and that they were proprietors of the bank at Benkelman โ€” indicating failure of the proprietors and implicitly the Benkelman bank. No explicit mention of a depositor run or subsequent reopening is provided. The 1932 Benkelman paper article does not clearly describe a related run/suspension for the Bank of Benkelman. OCR in Article 1 spells Benkelman as 'Benkleman'; corrected here. Because owners 'failed' and were arrested, I classify this as a suspension/closure due to bank-specific adverse information (proprietors' failure).
