Description

The single newspaper item (Oct 3, 1895) states 'the bank failure at Perry' and notes depositors were not assured of payment — indicates a failure/closure. No run or temporary suspension is described in the text, so classified as a suspension leading to closure (receivership/failed). Bank type inferred as state (no 'National'/'Trust' in name); this is somewhat uncertain.
