Community Service and Politics

RESULTS IN INDIANA.
Township Trustee N. P. Banks, of Hobart, Indiana, a town a few miles southeast of Chicago, says, under date of September 4, 1900:
"My Dear Sir:—Your letter of August 27 to the auditor of this county, asking for a brief statement of the effect of good roads on farm life and farm property, and how hard roads are received by the farmers of this county, has been referred to me for the reason, I suppose, that I am a citizen of Hobart township, which inaugurated and which has taken the lead in road improvement in this county.
Our improved roads are built of Joliet gravel. Under the road improvement law of this state, our first gravel road was built in 1896, after a hard fought election. What will show you more clearly and strongly than anything else, what our people think of good roads, after having had the experience of using and paying for them, is this fact: We are now nearing the completion of our third system of gravel roads, which gives nearly every citizen of the township, a good road by his door. Our last election, held a little more than a year ago, was carried by 8½ votes for good roads, to every one against, our road tax has been cut down from 15 cents on the $100.00 valuation to 5 cents on the $100.00. The good effects of hard roads with us are numerous. This community now enjoys the blessing of free rural mail delivery, which would have been impossible under our old system of roads. Grocers and other dealers have their delivery wagons out daily. In fact, we feel that good roads are the foundation of a great many conveniences, which otherwise would be confined to cities and towns. I think l am safe in saying, that farm land in this township is worth and will sell from $15.00 to $20.00 per acre more than it would just before the roads were built. Another result of good roads is the effect it has on the pride of the people. You will notice a general cleaning up, muddy places will be made dry as far as possible, yards and lawns will be cleaned up and made attractive, neat walks will be laid around the premises, and everything possible will be done to add to home attractions. Every school house in our township has a gravel road passing by it. Our high school is situated near one end of the township. Our good roads make it possible, and for two years we have furnished transportation for high school pupils from all parts of the township, which helps to make our high school the pride of the community. The question, which has been so earnestly discussed in the last few years, "how to keep the boys and girls on the farm instead of rushing to the cities," I believe will find its solution in the introduction of good roads, which will bring desirable conveniences, and also promote sociability, the lack of which is the great drawback to young life in the country. With good roads, the people of a neighborhood can organize social clubs and know they can meet on appointed times; for instance, we have such a club in this neighborhood, and although we have a thriving town near us, our young people look forward to the meeting of this club with far more interest than they did heretofore to any entertainment in the town. The people of Lake county have become very enthusiastic over the matter of good roads, and by the end of the present season eight of our eleven townships will have completed a system of hard roads giving us over 200 miles of improved roads in our county.
(Signed) Respectfully,
N. P. Banks."

BANKS, Nathaniel ... (Rank) Private ... (Residence) Hobart, Ind. ... (Date of Muster) Aug 12, 1862 ... (Remarks) M.O. July 24, 1865 as Serg't
Page 12: The following are the names, ages and places of residence at time of enlistment: Banks, Morgan, 32, Hobart, Ind.; Banks, Nathaniel, 17, Hobart, Ind.
Page 58: Hansell, gunner of gun 4, was promoted to sergeant, vice Wells, discharged. Corp. Judd made gunner of the same, and Private Morgan Banks, of the same, to corporal (chief of caisson).
Page 155: On the 10th [March, 1864] some of the furloughed men having returned, (for we had been allowed four for the Battery; Morgan Banks, Wright, Wm. Hamilton and Carey being deemed most in need of them) the two former started for home.
Page 209: On the 30th [June, 1864] Lieut. Fluskey started for Chattanooga in charge of the condemned artillery of the corps, each battery that was short in men having turned over a section. In the afternoon, we had our regular biennial muster, and Nathaniel Banks, of gun 4, was announced corporal of the same.
Page 230: On the 8th [August 1864] Quartermaster Sergt. Murphy was mustered in as junior 2d lieutenant in the Battery. Corporal Nathaniel Banks, of Squad 4, was made sergeant of No. 4 vice Sergt. Hansell, promoted to fill the vacancy occasioned by Sergt. Murphy's promotion. Wm. Hamilton was promoted to corporal to fill Banks' place as chief of caisson.
Page 231: On the 14th [August 1864] Lieut. Fluskey started for Chattanooga on business for the artillery brigade. That day Orderly Sergt. Gillette was mustered as senior 2d lieutenant, and on the 15th Corporal Morgan Banks, of gun 4, was promoted to fill the vacancy. John Scales was promoted to Banks' place as gunner of gun 4.
Page 275: At 4 P. M. on the 9th [March 1865], the wind blowing almost a hurricane, a canoe carrying three men capsized just before it reached the island that lay abreast of us. Two of our men, Corporals Scales and Banks, immediately went to their assistance with one of our boats, and succeeded in rescuing the men who proved to be a lieutenant and two negroes coming down to Chattanooga after some provisions. They were bring a barrel of eggs for the market. The lieutenant lost his seventy-dollar overcoat and gave the eggs to his preservers. These eggs were worth sixty cents a dozen in Chattanooga. [One of the Banks brothers is now given as a corporal rather than a sergeant or Orderly sergeant. Not sure if this is an error of occasion (date) or forgetting that one had been promoted, as they both mustered out as sergeants.]
Page 296, Mustered out, paid, and dismissed on 26 Jul 1865 with a list of those present at Camp Douglas in Chicago: Morgan Banks, 1st Sergt.; Nathaniel Banks, Sergt.
