C.T. Bannister, an old and highly respected citizen, passed away at his home in Glencoe, Saturday night at 10:30. His final illness lasted 10 weeks, during which time he was constantly attended by his loving family, friends and nurses.
He was a veteran of the Civil War, also a long-time member of the Masonic lodge. His long life was filled with loving service for his family, friends and comrades.
He came with his family to Oklahoma over 30 years ago, and settled on a farm west of town. When age and infirmity caused him to give up farm life, he moved to Glencoe, which place continued to be his home until God called and he answered the rollcall of the Great Commander on high. He leaves an aged widow, three sons, Will of Skedee, Art and Fred of California; two daughters, Mrs. Hannah Davis of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. Lillie Swan of Claremore, besides several grandchildren and numerous other relatives and friends, who will greatly miss him.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church at 2 p.m., Tuesday, conducted by Rev. Demaree, pastor of the Methodist Church, and interment was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. All the children except the sons in California, were here for the funeral. The family has our sincere sympathy in their hour of trouble.
