Description

Articles show the Peoples Trust & Savings Bank had been closed for several weeks and reopened (reported 1932-07-28). Later (1932-12-21) the bank is reported to have suspended operations again (along with First National). No article explicitly describes a depositor run or the cause of the suspensions; outcome of the December suspension is not provided. I classify the overall episode as suspension_reopening because the bank clearly suspended earlier and then reopened (July report). December suspension is noted but its resolution is unknown.
