Description

Articles consistently describe the Johnson County Savings Bank as being in receivership (L. A. Andrew, receiver), with RFC loans obtained for the receiver and dividend disbursements paid to depositors while the bank remained closed. There is no description of a depositor run; the bank was closed and in liquidation/receivership and did not resume normal banking operations. Dates are taken from documents (deed dated 1932-05-28 filed 1932-06-16) and RFC/press reports (Dec 1932–Jan 1933).
