Description

Article reports that Earl Litteer was receiver for banks in Haworth (and Broken Bow), appointed December 1922, has paid depositors ~45% and is resigning in April 1927. No run is mentioned; the bank was in receivership (i.e., suspended/closed) and remains in receivership, so classified as suspension_closure. OCR shows phrase 'State National bank' which is ambiguous; I did not assume a bank type from that fragment.
