Description

The Dollar Savings Bank (Akron, OH) was closed by directors on Oct. 28, 1907 following the suicide of cashier Fred(erick) A. Boron and an investigation that uncovered an apparent embezzlement/shortage of about $38,000. A receiver (Joseph Dangel) was appointed Oct. 31, 1907. Multiple articles contain OCR/name variants (e.g., Boron/Baron, Dangel/Daniel/John Dongle) — corrected based on consistent reporting. No article describes a depositor run on this specific bank prior to suspension; the closure appears due to bank-specific adverse information and led to receivership (permanent closure).
