Description

Newspaper items show legislative action To enable the Bank of Massillon to close up its affairs (Jan 13 and Mar 12 mention) and multiple July 1860 notices from court-appointed receivers (George Harsh, Isaac Steese, P. C. Hull) calling for creditors to present claims. No articles describe a depositor run or a reopening. This indicates the bank was closed and placed in receivership; classified as suspension leading to permanent closure. I chose bank_type 'unknown' because the name lacks explicit corporate form (National/State/Trust).
