Description

Articles describe the state guaranty fund commission taking charge of the Citizens' Bank of Benkelman (OCR also shows 'Benkleman'). This is a government takeover/suspension; no run is described and the bank is described as being operated as a going concern by the commission (suggesting temporary takeover rather than immediate permanent closure). Classified as suspension_reopening because suspension is by government action and there is no indication of permanent closure in the texts.
