Description

Multiple notices (Dec 1915–Jan 1916) announce a trustee's sale executed at the request of R. V. Pollard, Receiver of the Bank of Leflore, indicating the bank had a receiver and assets were being liquidated. The articles do not describe a depositor run or any reopening; therefore I infer the bank was closed and in receivership. Date for receivership/related action is shown as December 16, 1915 in the notices. OCR errors in the items (e.g., 'Migsissippi', 'befiore') were corrected when extracting location/date.
