Henry Banner, whose story has been previously given and whose age was given
as eighty-nine, is considered by many persons to be ninety-four*
Neely, one of the adult school-teachers, says that he has gone over
Banner's life carefully with him, and that he soxst have been twenty-one or
twenty-two at the close of the War because during slavery, he had experience
at logging, or rather at logrolling, a work so difficult that only full*
grown men were used at it* Since Banner is slightly built, there is
scarcely a possibility that he did such work before the norm! time*
