Description

Multiple Nebraska newspaper briefs (Dec 1926) report a mild run on the First National Bank of Plattsmouth followed by the bank being closed and William Wilson, national examiner, placed in charge. Later (Apr 1927) a receiver is disposing of assets and by Nov 1927 dividends are being paid — the bank did not reopen and was liquidated. Cause of the run/suspension appears linked to suit by the county treasurer to recover $20,000 of county funds (bank-specific adverse information). Dates are taken from newspaper publication months; exact day of the initial run/closure not specified in briefs, so day is left unknown (00).
