Description

Multiple sheriff's-sale notices (Dec 1925) name George H. Stanton/Stanion, as Receiver of The First State Bank of Joplin, indicating the bank was placed in receivership and assets were being sold. The articles do not describe any depositor run; therefore I infer a suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership. OCR errors noted: 'Jonlin' is 'Joplin'; 'Stanion'/'Stanton' appears as receiver name in different notices.
