Banner ********************************************************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Dorman Holub Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ********************************************************************************** Mrs. Addie B. Banner, wife of Dr. M.R. Banner, after a lingering illness of many years, died at her home on College Hill last Saturday. Mrs. Banner had resided in Jacksboro for years and was known to everyone, all of whom admired and loved her for her many Christians virtues and qualities of a sympathizing friend to the lowliest as well as to all others in their trials. She had only held to this life by a frail thread for some time and after her family and friends thought she was about to pass over the silent river, she rallied each time only to grow more frail after each struggle. She leaves her husband, two daughters - Mrs. L.J. McClelland and Mrs. S.W. Knox of Jacksboro; two sons - Messrs. Ernest and Walter Banner of Fort Worth. Mr. Banner was a pioneer teacher in Jacksboro. Mrs. Banner was sometimes called "Grandma" Banner by her fellow teachers. Mrs. Addie B. Banner was for many years a teacher, always a close student of human affairs and one whose heart beat in strongest unison with all human feelings.
