"Community State Bank" is one of America's commonest bank names, and the searches for this one returned a crowd of others. None of the following is North Liberty's bank (Certificate 15942), and each is recorded so no later pass imports it: the Community State Banks of Avilla, Indiana; of Royal Center, Indiana (Certificate 1839, established 1930); of Brook, Indiana (Certificate 8067, established 1931); of Union Grove, Wisconsin (established 1898 as the Bank of Union Grove); of Tipton, Iowa (Certificate 10114, established 1894 as the Clarence Savings Bank); of Shelbina, Missouri (Certificate 22567, established 1977); of Hennessey, Oklahoma (Certificate 27201, established 1988); of Lamar, Colorado (established 2008); and of Starke, Florida (established 1957). An FDIC deposit-assumption release of 10 October 1985, in which a Community State Bank assumed the failed Bank of Canton's deposits, is the Oklahoma bank's transaction — not this bank's, and not a failure of any bank here. And "New Liberty Bank" of Plymouth, Michigan (Certificate 35586, failed 14 May 2010) is a Liberty-name failure in another state — not North Liberty, Indiana, whose bank failure stands where this section put it: 17 January 1927, sixteen years before there was an FDIC to list it.
