  Notes	There was another Grover C Banks of the same age (born 16 Oct 1884) living in Vortex in Holly Creek in Wolfe County in the 1910 census. That Grover C Banks was married to Letha and his mother was Annie. Shown as Cleveland Banks in the 1910 census. The family was living on a farm in the Magisterial District of Antioch in Wolfe County, Kentucky. The family consisted of Cleveland, 29, Martha, 27 or 29, Davy, 7, Rosa, 3, and Henry, 1 and some months. Living next door was Hulda Banks, a 23 year old widow with two children. Cleveland and Martha have been married for 8 years. Martha has had 4 children, 3 still living. Everyone and their parents were born in Kentucky. Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Crow Wing County, as Grover Cleveland Banks of Ironton. He was employed as a miner for the Cuyuna Mille Lac of Ironton. His nearest relative was Martha Banks. Grover was described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and black hair. Shown as James C. Banks in the 1920 census, Grover C. Banks in the 1930 census. Owned a farm in Irondale Township, Crow Wing County, at the time of the 1920 census. His father was born in North Carolina, his mother in Kentucky. In the 1930 census, both of his parents were born in Kentucky. At that time, he was renting a farm, and occupied as a farmer, in Aitkin Township of Aitkin County. From: "Sara Dotzler" Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 19:19:40 -0600 To: "Edna/Bill Everson" Subject: Information Edna  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 Grover Cleveland Banks died of a coronary.
