Description

Multiple articles report City National Bank of Frederick, Oklahoma closed its doors Nov. 19, 1907 and was authorized by the Comptroller to re-open Dec. 20, 1907 (article lists re-open date as Dec. 20; one article says re-open Dec. 20, another Dec. 20/Dec. 20 range). No article describes a depositor run; closure appears to be a suspension/temporary closing and subsequent reopening authorized by the Comptroller of the Currency. Dates and phrasing corrected from OCR (e.g., re-open Dec. 20 and closed its doors November 19).
