Description

Article (Tampa Bay Times, 1930-11-30) reports the First National Bank of Roland, IA closed on that day; cause given as Frozen. A subsequent Ames Tribune article (1931-08-14) identifies J. R. Shannon as receiver of the First National Bank of Roland, confirming the bank remained closed and entered receivership. No articles describe a depositor run prior to suspension, so this is classified as a suspension that resulted in permanent closure/receivership. 'Frozen' is recorded from the text and is unclear; thus cause is coded as 'other' with details.
