Description

Court dockets across 1909-1911 repeatedly refer to a receiver for the First Co-operative Building Association and authorizations for the receiver to settle loans. No article describes a depositor run. The presence of a receiver indicates the association was in receivership/closed; I classify this as a suspension leading to closure. Exact appointment date of receiver not given in these excerpts; earliest docket referencing receiver is 1909-08-18.
