FDIC BankFind searches, November 2026
LK-1 filed the bank question as G-SP-11 with FDIC BankFind as its standing settler. The settler has now been read, and the gap closes in the form this build calls a documented negative: BankFind carries no "Farmers State Bank" at Lakeville and no "Lakeville State Bank" at all — and the reason is coverage, stated plainly so the negative is not misread: the FDIC's institution record begins in 1934, and this bank died in 1930. The FDIC failures dataset likewise carries zero Lakeville records. The 1917 bank's record lives where this section found it — in the state banking department's Year Books, the directory trade, and the appellate reports — not in the federal file.
The traps dispelled on the way are recorded so no later pass re-imports them: LaPaz's Farmers State Bank (Certificate 1832), four miles away in Marshall County — the dangerous near-namesake, a different town's bank; LaGrange's (Certificate 14578); Lakeville, Minnesota and Lakeville, Connecticut; Lake View, Iowa; and a Wawaka ledger whose 1917–1930 date span is identical to this bank's and belongs to another town entirely. Same names, same dates, wrong towns — the county's banking record is a minefield of them, and this section's identifications rest on the charter number and the place, never the name alone.
