Middle Ga Argus
WILLIAM R. BANKSTON

AN OLD TIME FACE

Sitting on the mantel in the clerk’s office, in the courthouse, is a photograph 
of Mr. Wm. R. Bankston, who for many years filled the office clerk of this 
county.  The face is familiar to all the older citizens of the county, as from 
the early days of the county’s organization this gentleman was almost 
invariable called upon to draw up all the deeds, bonds and other legal papers 
for a great many of our citizens.  He was noted as being one of the best penmen 
in Georgia, which the records of the office will show.  Mr. Bankston is yet 
living with his son James, three miles from town and being old and unable to do 
manual labor, spends his time in fishing, hunting, etc.  Many are the 
interesting incidents that he can tell of antebellum days and the trying times 
of the war.  Long may he yet live in the land of his birth and among his 
friends.
