Description

The article (Mar 19, 1931) refers to 'Van Peterson, as Receiver of the Union State Bank', indicating the bank had been placed in receivership (i.e., closed). The notice does not describe any prior run; cause of suspension/receivership is not given in the text, so I classify this as a suspension leading to closure/receivership.
