Description

Newspaper reports (May 13โ€“14, 1931) state a minor run on the bank the past few days and that the board of directors ordered the People's/Peoples National Bank of Shakopee closed. The articles do not state a receiver was appointed nor whether the bank later reopened, so the sequence is a run leading to a suspension with reopening status unclear. OCR shows slight name variants (People's vs Peoples) but clearly refers to Peoples National Bank of Shakopee.
