Description

Articles (Chicago Tribune, Feb 26 and Feb 28, 1932) state the Ogden National Bank is closed with receivers involved and depositors organizing; officials and receivers are planning reorganization and efforts to reopen the bank. No explicit contemporaneous run is described. Closure appears to be by appointment of a receiver (state auditor involvement), and article language emphasizes planned reorganization and meetings to seek aid โ€” I classify this as a suspension with planned reopening though an actual resumption is not shown in these clippings.
