Description

Newspapers state the National Bank of Luverne was closed (May 1926 article) and a receiver (P. C. Heimark) has been in place since February 23, 1926; later charged with embezzlement. No article describes a depositor run, so this is classified as a suspension that led to permanent closure/receivership.
