Description

Article (Council Grove Republican, 1930-04-03) reports a dividend paid by Charles Johnson, state bank receiver, to the Pittsburg State Bank depositors. That indicates the bank was placed in receivership and is being liquidated; no mention of a depositor run is given. Therefore this is classified as a suspension leading to closure (receivership). OCR errors in the snippet were corrected (e.g., 'Pohattan' -> possibly 'Pottawatomie' elsewhere, but not relevant).
