Description

Article (Mineral Point Tribune, 1896-02-20) refers to the 'suspended National bank at West Superior' and describes a proposition to settle with the city and bondholder W. E. Mc-- offering to buy claims. No run is mentioned. The item implies the bank is suspended and appears to be in the process of settlement/liquidation; the article gives no clear evidence of a reopening, so I classify as suspension leading to closure (suspension_closure) while noting some uncertainty because the ultimate disposition is not explicitly stated.
