Description

Newspaper items show the North American Bank & Trust Company was in the hands of a court-appointed receiver (L. Scott Townsend). No article describes a depositor run; instead the bank is in receivership and the receiver filed reports in Jan 1915. Thus this is a suspension leading to closure/receivership. Dates taken from court calendar and receiver notices in the Wilmington Evening Journal.
