Description

Multiple 1877–78 notices show the Bank of Camden in receivership (R. J. Donaldson named receiver) and subsequent sheriff's sale of the bank building in Dec 1878. No run is mentioned; this is a court-ordered receivership/closure. I corrected OCR typos (e.g., 'Gamden' -> Camden) and used the court order date (15 Nov 1877) and the September 11, 1877 court term referenced in sale notices as supporting dates.
