Description
Articles report the Bank of Kentucky (Lexington) was placed in temporary receivership (Feb 1914), then permanent receivership (Mar 13, 1914) and later a receiver was appointed to wind up the defunct bank (Jul 3, 1914). There is no mention of a depositor run; closure is by court/receiver action. One article (Apr 21) says the bank had been closed for more than a year while trying to reopen — this may reflect earlier suspension history or OCR/context nuance. Classified as suspension leading to permanent closure (receivership).
