Description

The First National Bank of Bend suspended operations in April 1927 and a receiver (H. F. Schilling) was appointed; the bank did not reopen as a going bank but remained in receivership with periodic dividend distributions in 1927–1932. No contemporaneous run is described in the articles; the cause appears to be bank-specific insolvency.
