Harrison Banks, named after his father's middle name (Henry Harrison* Banks) was born in Huntingdon, PA to Henry and Dessie May Hydecker*.

Harrison was born on July 24, 1904, and lived in Huntingdon County, PA until 1909 at age 5, when he is recorded as living in Saltillo, PA with both parents and his newborn brother, Norman Banks (1909-1989). In 1910, Harrison (age 6) and his brother, Norman were recorded as living in Clay, PA, all areas of Huntingdon County, PA.

Henry Harrison Banks, (the father) presumably dies in 1910; as no additional records have been found. The 1910 Census from Clay, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, USA is the last known document discovered to document Henry and his whereabouts.

After April of 1910 through 1912, it is unknown where Harrison, Norman, and Dessie are residing or how their quality of life is at this point.

September 6th, 1913 Altoona, Pennsylvania Newspaper reports: "Judge Woods gave Frank and Joseph Nevitt ninety days each at Lewistown for forcing liquor down the throat of 9-year-old Harrison Banks until he was unconscious. His mother, who was a witness to the atrocity escaped under suspended sentence because of her little children at home."

August 4, 1914, 8:30 PM Brookfield, Trumbull, Ohio USA - Harrison dies from "Empyema." Definition sourced from PennMedicine.Org "Empyema is usually caused by an infection that spreads directly from the lung. It leads to a buildup of pus in the pleural space." Harrison was under the medical care of M.D. L. M. Wright from July 28, 1914, until August 4th, 1914 for 7 days until his death.

On August 6, 1914, the death certificate for Harrison is filed with the state of, Ohio. File No. "47551" County of Trumbull, Township of Brookfield, Ohio USA. Registration District No. 1241. Registered No. 47 Primary Registration District No. 5899

Specific Information contained in the death certificate is deemed accurate up to the mother's name, Mothers's birthplace, Mothers age, Harrison's birthplace, Harrison's age*, and Harrison's place of burial: "Center Cemetery, Hubbard, Trumbull County, Ohio USA."

Harrison's grave is not known to be marked or unmarked.

*Noting: Harrison's birth date on the death certificate is June 24, 1904. According to his birth record, his date of birth is July 24, 1904.

Harrison's death certificate lists his full name as "Harrison B Landgrabe*" with the father as being named: "Geo S. Landgrabe" and the mother as: "Dessie Heidecker."

It is unknown why the father's name would be misnamed on the death certificate given all other evidence, data, and documentation that identifies, Henry Harrison Banks as the father of Harrison.

A possible theory is it was a "practice" to give children the last name of the new husband. In the 1920 Ohio census, Norman and Harrison are listed with the last name of Landgrabe after the marriage of Dessie and George Landgrabe on April 9 of 1914.
