Description

OCR corrected phrase: 'Formers State bank' -> 'Farmers State Bank'. Article (The Kokomo Tribune, 1930-10-14) reports the First National Bank, as receiver for the Farmers State Bank of Bunker Hill, filed a petition to pay a dividend, indicating the bank was in receivership/closed. The text does not explicitly mention a prior depositor run or an earlier suspension; however, the appointment of a receiver and petition for dividend implies permanent closure. I therefore classify as suspension_closure (closest category).
