Description

Articles show Hawarden State Bank was in receivership (court approvals of receiver reports, receiver appointed, sale of assets, and distribution of final dividends). There is no mention of a depositor run; the bank was placed in receivership and remained closed under a receiver who later distributed dividends — consistent with a suspension that resulted in permanent closure/receivership.
