Description

The article (Kossuth County Advance, 1932-09-22) states an assistant bank receiver was appointed and 'has charge the Burt, Titonka, and Bode closed banks.' There is no description of a depositor run; the bank is described as closed with a receiver in charge, implying suspension and closure/receivership. I infer 'state' bank type from nearby reference to a 'closed State bank' in the same article. Date for events taken as the article date.
