Description

The Marion National Bank (Marion, OH) failed to open Dec 15, 1931 and was placed in the hands of the Comptroller; receivership was appointed later in December and the receiver liquidated the bank's assets. Closure appears driven by apparent irregularities/defalcation by former cashier H. W. Hane rather than a depositor run.
