Description

No articles describe a depositor run. Multiple notices identify Leonard Marbury as receiver and reference a March 18, 1890 decree in the Circuit Court; later (1892) receiver's sales and auctions indicate the bank remained in receivership and assets were being liquidated. Therefore this is a suspension that resulted in closure/receivership.
