Description

Multiple contemporary newspaper reports (May 2, 1890) state the Gloucester National Bank suspended yesterday. No article describes a depositor run or any reopening; the immediate cause is not given in these clippings. I infer a suspension on 1890-05-01 and, lacking evidence of reopening, classify as suspension_closure while noting this is uncertain from the provided texts.
