Description

Newspaper articles report the Peoples National Bank of Waukon being closed by a federal examiner with a receiver appointed (Jan 1925). A later 1927 article again notes the bank had closed (June 28) and a receiver arrived to take charge, with possibilities for restoration. There is no mention of depositor runs; closures are by examiner/receiver (government action) and indicate permanent suspension/receivership.
