Mrs. J. M. Bankston Claimed By Death

The death of Mrs. J. M. Bankston, 72, of Jenkinsburg, early Sunday afternoon 
came as a shock to her family and friends. Although Mrs. Bankston had not been 
in good health for the past three months she was able to visit friends in 
Monticello and Jackson Saturday afternoon, and ate a hearty meal Sunday at 
noon. Her death came suddenly at two o'clock as she was talking with members 
of her family and several neighbors.

Mrs. Bankston, who was one of the county's most widely known and beloved 
citizens, was Miss Margaret Glass, eldest child of the late Mr. and Mrs. 
Samuel Edward Glass, of Henry County. She was a widow of the late Mr. J. M. 
Bankston of Jenkinsburg, who died in August 1926. She was the mother of eleven 
children, two of whom preceded her in death. They were a daughter, Mrs. Lola 
Bankston Moore of Atlanta, and a son, Dodson Bankston of Jenkinsburg.

Funeral Services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist 
church at Jenkinsburg with Rev. E. C. Wilson, former pastor but now of 
Hapeville, and Rev. C. B. McKenzie, pastor having charge of the services. 
Beautiful flowers were sent by friends and relatives, showing the high esteem 
in which Mrs. Bankston was held.

Burial was in the family lot in the Jenkinsburg Cemetery.

Surviving Mrs. Bankston are seven sons, J. E., Macon, L. C., Dublin, T. A. 
Washington, DC, S. P., O. M., F. T., and R. S. Bankston, all of Atlanta; two 
daughters, Mrs. E. R. Merritt and Mrs. Parker Brown, both of Atlanta; 22 
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; five sisters, Mrs. W. J. Bankston,
