Brief mention was made last week of the death Thursday evening, June 23, 1910, of Mr. James Bannatyne, of Eckhart.
He had been ill since November, last year, of troubles which, weakening his heart, the latter finally gave way and became the immediate cause of death.
Mr. Baunatyne was born in Lesmahago, Lanarkshire, Scotland, October 30, 1849, and was, therefore, in the 61st year of his age. To this country he came in April, 1869, and at once made his home in Eckhart. He wrought diligently, prospered, meanwhile never forgetting a "bonnie lassie" left in Scotland. Two long years thus passed, and then he sent for Miss Annie Glen. In Cumberland he met her and at once they were married by Rev. Asbury R. Riley.
In Eckhart they made their home and for forty years he was a valued employee of the Consolidation Coal Company.
As a citizen his record is unexceptionable. For twenty-five years he had been a conscientious advocate and staunch exemplar of the principles of the Prohibition party, and was treasurer of the county fund at the time of his death. In this, as in other movements, he identified himself with whatever he conceived to be for popular betterment--for the moral advancement of town, county, State and country.
He had been superintendent of the Eckhart Baptist Sunday School and treasurer of the church since 1885, and outside of the church--in civic life, he felt no little pride in the fact that for twenty-five years he had been the people's trustee in the town's public school.
The Journal is glad to elaborate these facts because (1) they are worthy of any citizen's record, and (2) Mr. Bannatyne was one of the Journal's first, longest and staunchest friends. He was a critical reader. He had agreed and disagreed with "the great paper," never hesitating in either case to coincide or dissent. In truth, James Bannatyne was an honest man, loyal citizen and Christian gentleman.
With Mrs. Bannatyne four daughters and one son mourn the death of a kind husband and indulgent father--Mrs. Edwin Elias, of Frostburg; Mrs. William Herman, Mrs. Edward Grim, Miss Kate Bannatyne, of Eckhart.
The funeral at the Eckhart Baptist Church Sunday afternoon was largely attended, friends from all along the Creek thus paying honor to his memory. Rev. B. F. Bray, of Frostburg, conducted the services and paid touching tribute to Mr. Bannatyne's Christian life.
The remains were borne to the grave in Eckhart cemetery by pall-bearers--W. D. Morgan, W. H. Kreitzberg, of Frostburg; James Weston, Prof. D. A. Boyle, John Dudley, sr., William Dudley, of Eckhart.
Flower bearers--William Griffith, sr., Charles Conner, William Myers, James M. Mair, Warren F. Hilton, Michael Barnard, of Eckhart; Henry F. Cook, D. J. Morgan, of Frostburg.
The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful.

Mr. James Bannatyne, aged sixty years, died at his home at Eckhart Thursday afternoon after an illness lasting since November, 1909. Mr. Bannatyne was one of the best known citizens of Eckhart, having lived there for over 41 years, coming direct to that place from Lesnabago (sic: Lesmahagow), Lanark, Scotland. The deceased was held in the highest esteem by the people of Eckhart, among whom he had associated the greater part of his life. He was a devout Christian and a life long member of the Baptist church, having been the superintendent of the Sunday school for 20 consecutive years. Many young men living in this locality owe their success in life to the kindly advice given them in their young days by the deceased. Truly it can be said that a good man has passed on to his reward. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ann Bannatyne, and the following children: Mrs. Edwin Elias, of Frostburg; Jno. Bannatyne, merchant; Mrs. Wm. Herman, Mrs. Edward Grim, and Miss Kate Bannatyne, all of Eckhart. Mr. Bannatyne has no family connections in this country. They all reside in Scotland, he being the only one of his immediate family who came to this country. The funeral took place on Tuesday at 2 p.m. and interment was made in the Eckhart cemetery.
