Description

The only mention in the article is a short item in a FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY column that says The Falls City bank suspended ... (1927 article referencing an event ~1877). The text is OCR-corrupted and terse; no explicit run or permanent closure is mentioned. I therefore record a historical suspension with uncertain outcome; I classify as suspension_reopening (temporary suspension) because there is no evidence of permanent failure in the excerpt. Date is derived from the 'FIFTY YEARS AGO' heading (1927-10-21 → 1877-10-21).
