Description

Articles show Haverhill Trust Company invoked the 90-day clause (suspension of withdrawals over $100) on 1931-12-19 and was announced closed by the state banking department on 1931-12-26. No explicit description of a depositor run is given in the excerpts, so I classify this as a suspension followed by closure (government action).
