Description

Articles describe the company in receivership with a receiver (Peter T. Wright) filing reports (filed March 28, 1914) and making partial distributions to creditors. No mention of a depositor run or of reopening; the bank is in permanent receivership/closing. I therefore classify this as suspension_closure (suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership).
