Articles report the Cumberland National Bank of Fayetteville failed in January 1932 and a receiver was appointed (Feb 1932). Later (1933) it is listed as '(receiver)' in RFC loan lists. No article describes a depositor run prior to suspension; the bank was placed in receivership by authorities, so classified as suspension leading to closure/receivership (suspension_closure).
