OBITUARY.
Mr. John M. Banks was born near Canton, Fulton county, Illinois, February 22, 1862, where his childhood days were spent.
September 11, 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Allenbauch of the same locality, and moved to eastern Kansas, were their three children were born; one boy and two girls. They lived in various parts of Kansas for about fifteen years, and came to Oklahoma in the spring of 1900 and bought Cedarspring farm three miles and one half west of Mulhall where he lived until his health begun to fail, then thinking a change might benefit him, he moved to Coweta, Okla., in 1906. Since then he spent one year in California and some time in Colorado, but finding that no climate would restore his lost health, he desired to be brought back to his home and spend his last days among his old time friends and neighbors. He passed peacefully away into the great beyond surround by his loving wife and children, September 4, 1911.
Mr. Banks was converted in his younger days and baptized by immersion and while never an active member of any particular church, he always held to the Christian faith and many of our church workers would do well to take him for their model. He was strictly honest and his word was equal to any bond. Justice to one and all was his motto. All through life he practiced the golden rule. His home and his family were his world. He had the greatest respect and esteem for all of his neighbors and often remarked that he had weighed them on the balance of neighborly kindness and never found one wanting. He bore all his suffering with the greatest of patience and at all times showed only consideration for al that were near them.
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Leo Anthis, the Christian minister, and the neighbors of his home lodge, the Modern Woodmen of America. The remains were laid to rest in Roselawn cemetery, followed by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. He leaves to mourn their loss: a sorrowing wife and three children: G.W. Banks, of Mulhall, Okla., Nellie Clason, of Wellington, Kansas, Anna Schmidt, of Porter, Okla., and six grandchildren, besides one brother, G.O. Banks of Sleeper, Okla., and his father, T.C. Banks of Muscotah, Kansas.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community and let us hope and pray that the one great Comforter may comfort them and give them strength to carry their cross and bear their loss and lead such lives as he taught them to lead and be prepared for the great reunion in the world beyond where there will be no more parting.
