Description

All articles are dividend notices signed by a receiver (GEO. HARSH) for the Bank of Massillon, indicating the bank had been placed in receivership and is paying dividends on liabilities. No mention of a contemporaneous run or reopening; this matches a suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership. OCR errors in original (e.g., Massillom, dates with 1861/1874 typos) were corrected where obvious. The notices are dated Aug. 24, 1874 in the text and published in September–October 1874 newspapers.
