Description

A depositor run (two days) beginning early January 1900 forced the Union County Bank to suspend (notice posted Jan 6, 1900). Articles later (Jan 1901) list the bank among business failures, indicating it did not resume long-term operations and thus appears to have closed permanently. Cause: depositor panic triggered by suspicions/connection to the Middlesex County Bank scandal and the presence of state examiners. OCR variants of names (Savage/Savage, Valentine/Vallentine/Mulford/Melford) corrected where obvious.
