Description

Multiple newspapers report the Bank of Hornellsville closed its doors in late November 1898 and went into voluntary liquidation by proceedings in the state supreme court; a temporary receiver (W. E. Pittinger) was named. No run is reported in the articles. Some sources give Nov 23, 1898 (local notice) and others report Nov 28, 1898; I use the earlier local notice date for the events.
