Description

No newspaper article describes a depositor run. July 1869 articles show a court decree and a stockholders' meeting to consider liquidation under the Act of March 12, 1869 (indicative of suspension/legal action). Later notices (Dec 1869) list W. James Whaley as Receiver, indicating the bank was placed in receivership/closed. Thus sequence is suspension followed by closure/receivership. I corrected minor OCR artifacts in Article 1 (Judge 'Penter' and references to Planters' & Mechanics' Bank of South Carolina).
