Description

The Aledo State Bank was closed by its board of directors in December 1931 and placed in receivership. Articles describe receivers H. O. Baner (installed by Jan 1932) and later William O'Connell; reorganization efforts in Aug 1932 did not result in reopening and by Oct 1933 the closed Aledo State Bank was being used as the county receivership headquarters for liquidation of multiple closed state banks. No article describes a depositor run prior to the suspension; closure appears driven by bank-specific insolvency/need to protect depositors and then receivership/liquidation.
