Description

No run is described in the articles. A temporary receiver was appointed Sept. 30, 1902 (court action at instance of a fidelity & guarantee company); the receiver was dismissed after bond was posted and the bank reopened Oct. 2, 1902. Later, on Jan. 6, 1903 the People's Bank made an assignment and affairs were placed in the hands of receivers (permanent receivership/closure). Thus this is a suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership. OCR errors corrected (e.g., Barnesvine -> Barnesville; article dates used to infer event dates).
