Description

Article (Spirit of Jefferson, 1918-03-12) is OCR-corrupted but refers to 'Special Receivers' in connection with 'Citizens Bank of Charles...'. No mention of a depositor run; a court/receiver action is indicated, so I classify as a suspension leading to closure/receivership. Date taken as the newspaper date. OCR uncertainty about full phrasing documented here.
