Description

Articles (Oct 1931) report the Harrison State Bank 'failed to open for business Monday' and was turned over to the state department of trade and banking; the piece states the assets 'will be liquidated through receivership.' No contemporaneous article describes a depositor run; this is a suspension by state action leading to receivership/closure. A later 1932 item mentions state-appointed personnel change but does not clearly document a full reopening.
