Description

The Baroda State Bank in Baroda, MI, was closed by its directors and remained closed; a temporary receiver (George C. Tyson) was appointed Sept. 23, 1931. Subsequent articles document receivers' suits and later dividend payments to depositors (1932โ€“1933). No article describes a depositor run prior to closure; the closure appears to have been voluntary by directors with state banking commission petitioning to keep it closed and a receiver appointed.
