Description
Article (Huntington Herald, 1927-04-01) reports the bank closed its doors two weeks ago and that a receiver (John Owen) was appointed by the Controller of the Currency. No explicit mention of a depositor run in the text; I infer the suspension occurred ~1927-03-18 (two weeks before publication) and the receivership was announced 1927-04-01. Cause of suspension is not stated in the article.
