Description

Articles report the Bank of Everett had failed/assigned in June 1893 (OCR shows 1833; corrected to 1893) and a federal receiver (John H. McGraw) was appointed Feb 27, 1897. No article describes a depositor run. Assets were sold at public auction Oct 5, 1897. Thus this is a suspension that resulted in closure/receivership. Significant OCR correction: '1833' -> '1893'.
