Description

The articles describe the Claudon State Bank as defunct and in receivership (receiver: Illinois State Savings Bank of Pontiac). There is no mention of a depositor run; instead the pieces discuss dividend payments by the receiver and court actions related to the receiver's final report and settlements. Thus the bank suspended and remained closed with a receiver (closure). Dates drawn from the newspaper dates: dividend mailing reported 1930-06-22 and court/ distribution matters reported 1930-11-07. OCR errors in Article 1 (fragmented text) were corrected when extracting the phrase 'receiver the Claudon State Bank, Fairbury' and reference to mailed dividend checks.
