Description
Multiple contemporary newspapers (Nov 26, 1860) report that the Union Bank of Tennessee in Nashville 'suspended specie payments at the request of the community' or a merchants' committee. There is no mention of a prior depositor run, receivership, or permanent closure in these items. Such community-requested suspensions in this period were typically precautionary/temporary; no reopening date is reported here, but there is also no evidence of failure, so I classify as a suspension with likely reopening. OCR appears clean; no corrections made.
