Description

Multiple contemporaneous newspaper reports (dated Nov 26, 1860) state the Planters (Planters') Bank of Tennessee suspended specie payments at the request of the community or a merchants' committee. The articles report a suspension only; they do not mention a run, receivership, or permanent closure. Such community-requested suspensions were typically temporary, so I classify as suspension_reopening. No explicit evidence of reopening or permanent closure is provided in these items.
