| Bankson, John W. (1847-1904) Individual/ Theatrical photo came from the Phillips Collection by Laurie Phillips Reilly. On the back of the photo is written: “To sweetheart Flora, Yours Very Truly, John W. Bankson.” Flora was the niece of John W. Bankson and Mary Ellen "Auntie Bankson" Taylor Bankson. This picture was probably taken in the late 1880's. |

"Just saw a book for sale on ebay about the Bankson family on Broadway:
John and Mary Bankson were longtime character actors in the 1880-1900 era, spending a lot of their time on Broadway and a lot of time touring the hinterlands. Their daughter Edna (called "Birdie") was a child star until dying in 1883. Their son James Bankson was on the verge of becoming a leading man on Broadway when he died at age 22. His widow was Lotta Linthicum, a longtime stock lead on Broadway. This is a 44-page booklet discussing their lives and their shows. There are rare photos, plus a section on stars they appeared with (William Farmum, Taylor Holmes, George M. Cohan, Charles Coghlan, Edythe Chapman, Laura Nelson Hall, James A. Hernem nat Robson and Thomas Ince). Mary Bankson was born Mary Ellen Taylor in Indiana. John Bankson was born in Arkansas but grew up in Keokuk, Iowa."
