Description

Newspapers report the Deseret Savings Bank suspended in Feb 1932; simultaneously the Deseret National Bank (a separate institution) was taken over by Security National Bank (Feb 1932). Later legal notices (May 1932) show receivership proceedings for Deseret National Bank (receiver H. B. Whitney). There is no clear description of a depositor run on Deseret National in these articles — the action appears tied to the local savings bank suspension and resulted in takeover/receivership (closure). OCR errors in Article 1 noted; receiver names differ across notices (William P. Morton appears in garbled Aug 1931 text, but later May 1932 notices list H. B. Whitney as receiver).
