He was born May 5th, 1850 and was 80 years of age at the time of his death.

Mr. BANNACH took ill on Wednesday and Friday night at 9:30 an operation was performed, but due to his advanced age he was unable to survive the shock.

Mr. BANNACH was first married to Mrs. Mary MATASHI (sic - MARASKI, should be KOLENDA) and six children were born of this union, five of which survive as follows: Frank BANNACH of East Pleasant Plain, Thos. BANNACH, Mrs. Frank (sic - Maryanna, wife of Roman KEMPSKI, not Frank) KEMPSKI all of Chicago, also a sister of Detroit, Michigan. Mrs. BANNACH passed away about thirty-five years ago (sic - first wife, died Oct. 20, 1895). He had made his home with his son Frank and family for the past three years.

Admin. note: John BANACH is my maternal great-great-grandfather. I am descended through John's daughter Maryanna, her daughter Emilie, and Emilie's daughter Judy. The only place I find MARASKI noted with a connection to John is his October 20th obituary; this info was then carried over to the WPA Survey and has been taken by some researchers to be a third wife as opposed to a first wife. I believe John was married only twice, and mention of KOLENDA occurs far earlier in vital/public records than does MARASKI.
