Cambria Freeman, Friday, 3 December 1880:
"DEATH OF HON. THADDEUS BANKS - We sincerely regret the duty of announcing the death of the gentleman whose name heads this notice, which occurred at his home in Hollidaysburg, on last Saturday afternoon, after a protracted illness. The deceased was sixty-five years old, and was a son of Ephraim Banks, of Lewistown, who was elected Auditor General of the State on the Democratic ticket in 1850. The subject of this notice read law in his father's office, and in 1840 settled in Hollidaysburg. In 1862 he was elected a member of the Legislature, and in 1871 was the candidate of the Democratic party against Hon. John Dean for President Judge of this district. He was a sound lawyer and stood deservedly high in his profession, while as a man he was honest and upright, and as a citizen he was universally honored and respected. No man in Blair county or elsewhere had warmer or more devoted friends than Mr. Banks, and no man's death will be more deeply deplored by all who knew him. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and was always a firm and active advocate of the cause of temperance. His widow, four married daughters, and one son survive him. His remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery, near Hollidaysburg, on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. Peace to his ashes."
