Description

Article (May 12, 1932) states that Mr. Royer 'is receiver for the First National bank at Oskaloosa', indicating the bank was in receivership (i.e., failed/closed). No mention of a prior run is given in the article, so I classify this as a suspension leading to closure/receivership. Limited information — no explicit suspension date or description of cause provided in the text.
