       I did some checking and here is what I found: Dad's name was Grover Cleveland Banks and Mom's was Martha Hatton. I believe her middle name was Jane but I'm not sure.

       I checked with Opal as she has dad's bible with some information. Dad was born April 30, 1884 in Kentucky (Campton) I believe. Mom was born July 10, 1880.

       Dad passed away April 30, 1965. Mom passed away December 30, 1967.

       They were married February 4, 1902.

       They left Kentucky and arrived in Wisconsin in 1911, from there they went to Oklahoma and then came to Minnesota in 1917. They arrived in Aitkin and then settled in Ironton, Minnesota where he worked in the mines before buying a farm in Ross Lake Township, Minnesota.

       Children from this union were Dave Crocket, Frank, Rose, Henry, Elizabeth and Mary (twins), Hafed (Jack), Hannah, Sara (myself) William (Bill) and Dixie.

       I hope this will answer some of your questions. If I find any more information I will send it to you. I will be leaving Wednesday for the cities and then flying out to Arizona on Friday (March 25) with Ruth and Jerry. We will be coming back on April 4. I have been quite well this winter but not so good the last week as I fell and bruised my knee and then sprained my ankle so it has curbed my getting around some.

       Hope this finds you all in good health and if you see Helen and Max say hello for me. Sara
