Obituary.  Mrs. Hannah Banks was born in Missouri, Feb. 25, 1837 and
passed from this life to her eternal rest Sept. 11, 1906, at home near
Sweetwater.  Her maiden name was Miss Hannah Thompson.  On Aug. 27, 1857,
she was united in holy matrimony with Mr. Robert Bank.  To this union were
born ten children, of whom two have preceeded her to the other world.
Mrs. Banks was a member of the Christian church and lived a quiet faithful
life.  She loved to read her Bible and as a mother and grandmother, she
admonished her children and grandchildren to walk in the way of the Bible.
 As Dorcas of the Bible, Acts 9:36-43, she was full of good works, and she
will be greatly missed in her home and community,  She lived a pattern
life for her children and wished them to follow in her steps.  She leaves
to mourn her departure a husband, eight children, a number of 
grand-children and many friends.
The funeral services were held at home Sept. 12 at 3 p.m., and largely
attended.  The remains were taken the next day to Texas, about 18 miles
west of Sweetwater, where they were laid to rest.  Matt. 11:28 was used as
the scripture text and the services were conducted by the undersigned.
May God help us to live such lives that we may be counted worthy to meet
her in heaven above.  Through Christ the way of salvation is made possible
for us and let us make use of it.  John Haber.
