After 200 years the John Banner stone is still
there but the inscription has long since disapeared.
A few years ago while visiting the cemetery the owner
of the land came out to talk to my wife I when he
noticed we were interested in the old Banner stone.
The land on which the cemetery is located has been in
his family for generations. He passed away shortly after
our visit. He told us the story of John Banner and said
he remembered when the inscription was still on the stone
and that the matter of his death by the bite of a rabid
dog was part of the inscription. I feel that the time has
come to replace and update that stone. What I'm asking
is a show of hands of those interested and willing to
pledge support of such a project. There are lot's of us
out there and it wouldn't take a large amount from each
of us to accomplish such a project. I live in California
but I've contacted a Banner descendant in Castlewood who
is a friend of the present land owner and can see no
problem in going forward. Please pass the word and let's
get started. You can contact me Tom Rudder,at ruddert@sbcglobal.net
