Description

Contemporary (1897-03-27) newspaper accounts state Williamson Talley was appointed receiver for the Planters' National Bank of Richmond and entered bond, indicating the bank was placed in receivership/closed. No article describes a depositor run prior to the receivership. A 1934 brief mentions a Planters' Bank receiver but appears to refer to a different later episode and is not used to change classification.
