Description

Article (Council Grove Republican, 1932-01-15) reports Farmers State Bank of Leon receiving a dividend payment from funds on deposit 'last May when the bank closed.' That implies the bank closed (suspended) in May prior to January 1932 and remained in liquidation/receivership (dividend distributions), i.e., permanently closed. No run is mentioned. Date for the closure is given only as 'last May' — inferred as May 1931 given the January 1932 publication. OCR corrected nothing significant.
