Description

OCRed article (The Times, 1893-07-14) states the 'bank of Dewitt failed to [open] their doors.' No mention of a depositor run or later reopening; listed among multiple Arkansas banks that closed. I corrected OCR 'Dewitt' to 'De Witt' and interpreted 'failed to their doors' as 'failed to open their doors.' Cause not specified in article, so set to 'other'.
