Description

Article (New-York Tribune, 1908-11-22) reports that the Holland Trust Company had become insolvent about three years earlier and that J. B. Van Woert was appointed a joint receiver at that time. No contemporaneous run is described; the bank was insolvent and in receivership (i.e., effectively closed). The exact date of appointment is not given; the paper says up to three years ago, so circa 1905. I do not infer additional events beyond the receivership mentioned.

J. B. VAN WOERT KILLED. Receiver of Holland Trust Company Victim of Auto in Fifth Avenue. James B. Van Woert, a receiver of the Holland Trust Company and one of the directors of the Home Insurance Company, was struck by an automobile while crossing Fifth avenue at 25th street last night and died in the New York Hospital an hour and a half later from a fracture of the skull. The automobile continued on its way northward in Fifth avenue. Witnesses say it was a touring car with a green body. Mr. Van Woert was sixty years old and lived at No. 48 East 25th street. He had offices at No. 19 Liberty street, and up to three years ago was the secretary of the Holland Trust Company. When the affairs of that concern became insolvent at that time he was appointed a joint receiver of the trust company with Samuel Bryant. He was not married. Lleutenant Turley, of the West 20th street station, said last evening that he was trying to learn the name of the owner of an automobile bearing the number 39,180 N. J. in his investigation of the accident. Miss Charlotte Van Woert, the victim's sister, said that her brother had been a sufferer from rheumatism and that he might have been unable to avoid the automobile. Mr. Van Woert's father was one of the wealthiest tobacco merchants in this city. Two sisters and three brothers survive the dead man.
