• Notes

  A cousin has surmised that her first husband was Horatio Banks. It's suggested by the Iowa birth index on FamilySearch that lists the birth of Lester M Banks, son of Horatio Banks and Alice Shaffer. In the 1880 census there is an Alice Shaffer of the right age living with Horatio and family. I would like to get their marriage record to be sure. I also found Alice F Craik, widow of Horatio Banks in "United States Remarried Widows Index to Pension Applications, 1887-1942"on FamilySearch
