Description

Multiple 1891 Wood River Times articles report numerous creditor orders presented to the First National Bank of Hailey and that payment was refused (references clustered around Feb 2, 1891). This indicates the bank suspended payments (likely insolvent). No article in the set describes a reopening; a 1925 article refers to a newly authorized First National Bank occupying a building and opening Oct 1, 1925 (different episode/charter). OCR errors in 1891 texts were corrected (dates like Feb. 2, 1891).
