General Notes: Husband - Robert Edwin Banks


He began a course of liberal education at Airy View Academy, and had entered the sophomore class in Jefferson College, Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania. Two of his fellow-students, boarding in the same house with him, took the typhoid fever and died. He waited on them assiduously during their sickness. He was then himself taken down with the same disease, but seemed on a fair way to recovery, when he took a relapse, and, after lingering about three months, died.
