MR. D. E. BANKS DEAD,
The de&th of Mr. D. E.- Banks oc
curred last Saturday morning at 5
o’clock. He has been in bad health for
seyeral years and it has been expected
for some time that his death would
occur. Mr. Banks was born and reared
in Gainesville and was sixty one yea-rs
of age at the time of his demise. He
was a gallant Confederate soldier
during the civil war, and was adjutant
of the Twenty-fourth Georgia regi
ment. At the battle of„ Chaneellors-
ville he was severely wounded in the
knee, from which wound he never
fully recovered it having caused him
severe pain at times and finally resulted
in the loss of his mind., ,
Mr. Banks was a prominent business
man of Gainesvile during his life time,
being a member of the well known
banking house of Banks & Bro. ‘In
1881 he was elected Mayor of the city
without any solicitation upon his part,
he being absent from the city at the
time in Mississippi where he had gone
for the benefit of his health. He.
served as Mayor for one term, and
made a splendid official. He held
other responsible positions, all of which
he filled acceptably. "
Mr. Banks was regarded as one of
the best and most generous hearted
men before His health failed him. He
Was always ready to lend a helping
hand id any charitable purpose, and
the poor and needy always had in him
a friend.
In 1887 Mr. Banks was married to
Mrs. Hattie Singleterry' of South
Carolina, and she still survives him.
Mr. Banks’estate is valuable, he having
accumulated a good deal during his
life. The funeral services were held ati
the First Methodist church Sunday
morning at 11 o’clock, Rev* J- M.
White officiating. The remains were
interred in Alta Vista cemetery. ,
