Description

Article (Battle Creek Moon-Journal, 1934-06-27) reports the comptroller named a receiver for the National Bank of Ionia. A November 1934 Flint Journal list shows the bank in the list of national banks placed in hands of receivers with unpaid deposits. No explicit run is mentioned in the articles, so this appears to be a suspension by government action leading to receivership/closure.
