Description

A court bill was filed and a receiver (F. J. Floyd) was appointed in Nov 1913; subsequent 1914 notices show the receiver selling the bank's real estate, fixtures and effects (sale scheduled Aug 15, 1914). No articles describe a depositor run or reopening—this is a suspension followed by receivership and liquidation/closure.

Receivership W. P. Massey, as one of the creditors of the Bank of Finger, has filed a bill in chancery court, praying for appointment of receiver, etc., to wind up the affairs of the bank. The bill shows liabilities of about $30,000, with available assets about $18,000. F. J. Floyd was appointed receiver and bond fixed at $20,000. Creditors are enjoined from bringing Independent suits, and must prosecute their claims in the pending suit. If the indemnity bond of $10,000 is collected it is thought, with all the assets, that the bank will pay out in full.
