Description

Contemporary brief notices (Apr 27, 1892) state the Birmingham (Ala.) National Bank has gone into liquidation, indicating a suspension/closure; a later 1895 notice names a receiver appointed in a court matter for Birmingham National Bank. An 1893 item mentions the First National bank of Birmingham reopening โ€” likely a different institution (First National vs Birmingham National). No article describes a depositor run. Cause not specified in the briefs, so coded as 'other'. OCR quirks corrected (e.g., has gone into liquidation interpreted as closing/liquidation).
