Description

Article (The Sidney Telegraph, 1929-10-01) reports Liberty State Bank suspended business during the entire day as a tribute during a local resident's funeral. This appears to be a one-day courtesy/temporary closure (no run or receivership mentioned) and the bank presumably resumed operations afterward.
