Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of January 20, 1899
J. R. Bankston, Dead

Many of our readers will call to mind the well known form of our old friend as 
they read the above head.  Mr. Bankston was born in Jasper County and was 
brought to Butts county by his parents when one year of age, who at that time 
owned the farm that is now in possession of Mr. W. H. Fletcher, one mile south 
of Jenkinsburg.  While he never became wealthy, during his long residence here 
he never had a law suit or difficulty of an unpleasant nature with any one.  He 
was a member of the Baptist church here at the time of his death and had been a 
consistent one for more than forty years.  He was a member of the St. John 
Lodge of Masons at this place.  He lived in this county 74 years and went back 
to his native county and died at the age of 76.  Having lived the first and 
last year of his life in Jasper county.   He was one of the pioneers of this 
county and has many descendents and family connections, in this and adjoining 
counties, who with his many friends regret to know that he is gone to return no 
more.
