Description

Newspaper excerpts (May 15 and May 17, 1894) report that a receiver was appointed in the matter Union Bank of Buffalo vs. Joseph T. Farrington. The articles do not describe a prior depositor run or a temporary suspension; they simply record the appointment of a receiver (closure). I classify this as a suspension_closure (bank closed and receiver assigned). No runs or reopening are mentioned.
