Description

Multiple newspapers (dated Nov 27, 1890) report the Bank of Waverly (Waverly, Kan.) closed their doors and announced that all payments were suspended. A later summary of 1890 business failures (Jan 8, 1891) lists the Bank of Waverly among failures, implying permanent closure. No article describes a depositor run or a reopening; therefore classified as suspension leading to closure. Cause is not specified in the articles.
