The Plattsmouth Journal, April 18, 1907
Sketch of Mrs. Banning's Life
In the village of Centerville, Mississippi, Parthena Elkin was born on the 9th day of May, 1844. There she grew to womanhood, removing with her parents when about twenty-one years of age to Missouri, and later to Nebraska City, where she was united in marriage July 26, 1877, with James E. Banning, then a widower with three small children, - Emma, now the wife of Frank Sheldon, Charles, who is at present located in Pleasanton, Neb., and Rhoda, who subsequently married Henry Sturm of Nehawka. With her husband she settled in Factoryville, where he was prospering in the mill-log business, and resided there until 1888 when they removed to Nehawka, where she continued to reside after the death of her husband, which occurred January 1, 1897. The children born from this union were James E., Stella and a twin brother who died in infancy.
The disease which eventually caused her demise was rheumatism, which induced organic heart trouble, with which affliction she passed from this earth to heavenly home at 2 o'clock Monday morning, April 15, 1907, after an illness of about three weeks duration.
The last fitting tributes to the memory of the deceased will occur Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the late home, the services being under the auspices of the Daughters of Rebekahs of which she has long been a member. Interment will be made in the cemetery near Nehawka near the grave of the husband and son, who preceded her to the Great Beyond.
