Description

The articles state the First National Bank of Schuyler suspended payment and went into the hands of a receiver on April 23, 1924; it remained in receivership and did not reopen. Subsequent items describe receiver actions and asset sales (1926 referee sale notices, 1926–1929 receiver auctions) and dividends to depositors (~35% reported). No contemporaneous run on the bank is described in the provided articles, so this is a suspension leading to permanent closure/receivership.
