Articles (June 5–7, 1928) refer repeatedly to the bank having closed and to L. R. Baird acting as receiver of the Driscoll State Bank bringing suits to collect notes held by the bank when it closed. There is no mention of a depositor run in the excerpts; the bank is in receivership, so this matches a suspension that resulted in closure/receivership. Exact closure date not given in the articles; receiver is active by publication dates.
