Description

Newspaper items from Oct–Nov 1925 refer to L. R. Baird as receiver of the First Farmers Bank of Minot, indicating the bank had been closed and placed in receivership. No article describes a depositor run. A March 17, 1926 item reports a dividend paid by the receiver. I infer a suspension/closure by state action (receiver) though the word 'suspended' does not appear explicitly in the excerpts.
