Description

Newspaper text (OCR) indicates the Fortville State Bank was defunct and a receiver was ordered by a judge (court-ordered receivership). No run or depositor agitation is mentioned. I therefore classify this as a suspension/closure with receivership (government action). Dates are taken from the newspaper publication dates; OCR errors in Article 1 corrected (ordered Isaac receiver interpreted as judge ordered Isaac [surname unclear] receiver of the defunct bank).
