Description

Bank was closed by the State Banking Commissioner Dec 1908 (articles dated Dec 17, 1908). Commissioner filed suit and a receiver was appointed in mid-Jan 1909. By June 7, 1909 the shortage had been made good, receiver discharged, and the bank was reported to reopen — no article describes a depositor run, so this is a suspension (government action) followed by reopening.
