Description

Two syndicated brief notices (published 1878-04-04/05) report that the Lawrence (Mass.) Savings Bank have suspended. No mention of a prior run, causes, receivership, or reopening/closure. I classify as a suspension with likely eventual resumption (many savings-bank suspensions of the period were temporary), but reopening is not confirmed in these excerpts.
