Articles state the Geneva National Bank 'went out of business in 1923' and its assets/liabilities were taken over by the National Bank of Geneva (Rochester). Later (1927) a receiver (Jonas J. Hulse/Hulse) was administering affairs and stockholders brought suits against directors; courts denied injunctions to remove the receiver. No contemporaneous run is described. Thus this is a suspension/closure with receivership and litigation afterward. OCR errors in articles corrected (e.g., 'Jonas Hulse' / 'Jonas J. Hulse', and dates inferred from publication context).
