Description

Articles indicate the Bank of West Superior was defunct and in the hands of an assignee (L. A. Nichols); a last dividend payment is referenced (1902), and the assignee appears as defendant in later foreclosure notices (1910) related to judgments dating to 1898. No article describes an active run; the bank had been closed/assigned and liquidated — consistent with a suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership.
