Description

The bank suspended business on Feb. 19, 1932 and depositors agreed to a five-year arrangement to avoid withdrawals and reportedly aimed to reopen (articles from Mar 30, 1932). However, a receiver (Milton Moyer) is reported as having been receiver for the last year in June 1933, implying a receivership/closure was put in place in 1932. There is no explicit description of a discrete run triggered by misinformation; the sources describe a suspension and later receivership.
