Description

Article (Alexandria Gazette, 1903-12-08) reports a receiver (G. L. Boothe) appointed for the Farmers' and Mechanics' Savings Bank in a court action; no run or reopening mentioned. I infer this is a closure/receivership. 'Savings Bank' likely a state-chartered institution; classified as 'state'.
