Description
Multiple contemporary newspapers (Oct 22, 1877) report that the Bank of Bunker Hill at Bunker Hill, Illinois suspended payment on Oct 22, 1877 with liabilities $60,000; officers said depositors would be paid in full. The reports mention only a suspension — no run, no reopening, and no receiver/closure detail. Because the sources do not record a reopening, I classify this as suspension_closure but note that the permanent outcome is not given in these items.
