Description
Newspaper items (Mar 25, 1933) report the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond appointed a conservator for Elkins National Bank. No mention of a depositor run; appointment of a conservator is a government action consistent with a suspension and likely leads to takeover/closure. The articles do not explicitly state permanent closure or receivership, so classification as suspension_closure is based on presence of a conservator (government action) and absence of reopening information.
