Description

Multiple court notices between 1909 and 1912 repeatedly refer to A. B. Guptill, as Receiver of the Bank of Minot and the bank is described as a defunct corporation (1912). No article describes a depositor run. The bank was placed in receivership (i.e., suspended and later remained closed). I infer the suspension led to permanent closure/receivership. Dates reflect the earliest explicit mention of the receiver in these clippings (Sep 1909).
