Description

Newspaper auction notices in April 1862 repeatedly state sales of Farmers' Bank STOCK on account of H. L. Brooke, Receiver, indicating the bank had a receiver and its assets were being liquidated. No article mentions a depositor run; the event is a receivership/closure. I infer 'state' bank from the name (common naming convention), but that is not certain.
