Description

OCR-heavy article (Greenville Journal, 1914-11-26) reports disclosures at a prior local bank, indictments of former cashier George Vanoose, and that the old Citizens' bank was succeeded by the Minster State Bank when disclosures necessitated the state department taking over temporarily. No explicit mention of a depositor run in the text provided; article describes regulatory/state takeover after disclosures (bank-specific adverse information). Date of the trigger is not clear; I use Oct 1914 (article references Oct. 13, 1914). Because the bank was taken over by the state department and the text implies permanent failure of the old bank, I classify as suspension_closure. Significant OCR errors corrected (e.g., fragmented sentences about Vanoose, Citizens' bank, and state department takeover).
