Description

Newspaper notices repeatedly state that Hon. Henry B. Cleaves was acting as Receiver for the Granite State Provident Association (court equity filings dated August 13, 1898). These notices request appearance regarding the receiver's account, and later notices (March 1899) show the receiver presenting a second account. There is no mention of a depositor run in the items provided. The appointment of a receiver indicates the bank was closed and in receivership (government/court action) — classified as suspension followed by closure/receivership.
