Description

Articles report heavy withdrawals that forced the First National Bank of Clarkston to close (suspend) in February 1924; later in Oct 1924 a receiver (R. D. McCulley) distributed a 20% dividend to depositors, indicating the bank remained in receivership/closed and did not resume normal operations. Cause of the suspension/run appears linked to withdrawals likely tied to distress in a chain of related Waterman banks (mentioned as an original chain) — classified as 'local_banks'. Dates estimated from newspaper publication dates (closure last Friday relative to 1924-02-14 -> 1924-02-08).
