Bannister, who died March 23, 1883, was born in the State of New York, Ontario County, March 27, 1809, and was one of Black Hawk County’s most esteemed and most respected citizens, where he was for many years prominently identified, having been, literally speaking, one of the pioneers of the county of his choice, and especially of Spring Creek Township, where he resided from 1855 up to the time of his decease. While living in New York State he was married at the age of about thirty years to Antoinette Van Dyke, to whom were born two children, one of whom is dead, the other, a son, is living at Vail, Crawford County, Iowa. After moving to Indiana, and later to Naperville, Illinois, his wife died, and Mr. Bannister was married again, this time to Miss Lydia Glasser, of Belvidere, Illinois, who was born in New Jersey, October 18,1830. To them were born five children, two of whom, Frank M. and Vinton A., died in infancy. Of those living Elizabeth L.is the eldest, born December 23, 1854, and is the wife of Charles E. Ashley, of Spring Creek Township. The next, Ina, lives in Nebraska, and Charles B. is in Dakota Territory. Mrs. Lydia Bannister died in 1860, and Mr. Bannister was a third time married, this time to Miss Esther Dixon, daughter of James and Catharine Dixon, a native of Ohio, born in the year 1847. To them were born two children-Albert T. and Lisle S., who reside with their widowed mother on the farm where their father lived during the whole period of his stay in the State-twenty-eight years. Mr. Bannister held for a number of years the office of justice of the peace, had held the office of president of the schoolboard of the township, and also taught school, together with penmanship. He was a man of strict integrity, correct and steady habits, also of extended observations and travel, he having together determined to try and better his fortunes by seeking the Eldorado in the land of gold. Consequently, in 1850, while living at Naperville, Illinois, he went overland with a wagon train to California, where he worked in the mines and was fairly on the road to, as he thought, make lots of money when his health, at this, to him, most important and valuable time, failed, or nearly so, obliging him to stop mining, and after living in California one year and having made money enough to pay him for his time and trouble, he left the land of the setting sun for home returning by way of the Isthmus of Panama and New York, thence by rail to Naperville, bringing with him many mementos of his, to many minds, great and truly arduous undertaking, and not least among these were several bushels of Pacific ocean shells, a rarity for those times. His account of the homeward ocean trip would be calculated to make an impression on the minds of admirers of romance. When leaving for home his expectation was to go by way of Cape Horn, but the old sailing ship made such slow progress that when near Panama, becalmed for several days, he with a number of others decided to desert her, thereby forfeiting their passage money, and were rowed in a dugout to the city of Panama, a distance of ten or twelve miles. Another cause for deserting their ship was the fact that she was sailed slowly to give gamblers aboard a chance to fleece the passengers. Arriving at Panama they crossed the Isthmus by mules and took passage on another ship for New York. Mr. Bannister died leaving quite a property, consisting chiefly of a farm of nearly 600 acres of land, with good buildings and improvements. http://laportecity.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&d=01011880-12312017&e=elmina%20m%20ashley&m=between⩝=e1&fn=progress_review_usa_iowa_la_porte_city_19890322_english_13&df=1&dt=1&cid=2700 Contributor: Laura (47617185)
