General Notes: Husband - William Banks

---

The common schools of the district furnished his early education and this was supplemented by attendance at Tuscarora Academy. In 1886 he undertook the responsibility of cultivating the farm, which consisted of two hundred and forty acres, and was remarkably successful in all his efforts. He planted many acres in fruit trees, and was considered to have one of the most productive farms in the county.
He was one of the organizers and original stockholders of the Juniata Valley Bank, 1864, this was later known as the Second National Bank.
In 1862 he volunteered for military service, was mustered in, and sent to Harrisburg, his regiment being known as the Third Pennsylvania. From there they were sent to take part in the battle of Antietam, but reached the battlefield too late to be of actual assistance.
He joined the Presbyterian church in his early youth, and served it as an elder for many years. He was also connected with the Sunday school for more than half a century.
