Description

Articles describe the State Bank of Superior as having a receiver (Clarence Bliss; later E. H. Luikart) and being involved in litigation over a 1930 settlement/payment fund for failed banks. No newspaper text describes any depositor run or an attempted reopening; the bank was failed and in receivership, so classified as a suspension leading to closure (receivership). Dates reflect article publication; I did not infer any undocumented run or suspension dates.
