Description

Multiple court entries (1903–1907) repeatedly show Tolson v. United Banking and Trust Company with receivers authorized to accept offers and receivers acting — indicating the bank was placed in receivership and did not resume normal independent operations. No newspaper text describes depositor runs; the actions are court-ordered receiverships (government/court action) leading to closure. I corrected nothing significant in names/locations.
