Description

Articles consistently refer to the institution as the Farmers State Bank of Dunlap. They indicate the bank had closed (defunct, closed its doors more than a year ago) and a state bank receiver (Charles W. Johnson) was appointed and was pursuing suits, selling assets and paying dividends. No article describes a depositor run prior to suspension; evidence points to a suspension/closure with receiver administration.
