Description

Articles describe the First State Bank of Mattoon as defunct with D.T. Guthrie acting as receiver and paying final dividends (Feb 12, 1929). There is ongoing litigation (suit by receiver against State Trust & Savings Bank and its stockholders) referenced in Nov 1928 and Sept 1929 items. No newspaper text describes a depositor run; the bank was closed and in receivership, so classified as suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership.
