Came to Umatilla County in 1874 From Southern Oregon
Grandma Banks died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. N.C. Dickinson, Wednesday, shortly after the noon hour. Death came as the result of a paralytic stroke, which came several days ago. The end of a long and useful life came, with five of her children at her side.

The year following their marriage they crossed the plains to southern Oregon. in 1874 they came to Umatilla County, settling near Athena, where they have since resided.
Grandma Banks was the mother of twelve children, none of whom are still living. They are, Mrs. N.C. Dickinson, at whose home she died; J. N. Banks, of Riparia, Wash; Samuel A.
