Description

No run or depositor panic is described in the articles. They report court proceedings concerning a receiver (A. W. Ryan) for Farmers' & Merchants' Bank and the receiver being discharged after accounting. This indicates the bank had been placed in receivership and did not resume normal operations in these notices, so classified as a suspension leading to closure/receivership.
