Description

Articles (Lincoln Journal Star, 1928-07-06) describe the state guaranty fund commission taking charge of the Citizens State Bank of Benkelman; no run is mentioned. The commission was operating the bank as a going concern while determining whether to continue operations or wind up affairs, and the piece concerns immunity of assets from levy while in commission hands. The eventual permanent fate (reopen vs. close) is not stated; the bank was being operated by the commission, so I classify as suspension_reopening as the commission was running it as a going concern (explainable as a temporary suspension under government action). OCR typos corrected: kleman -> Benkelman.
