We regret to have to record the death of Miss Annie Bannan, which took place at her mother's residence, Kerang East, on the 28th inst. Miss Bannan has now been suffering for some time from consumption, and for the past few weeks it has been evident that the termination of the disease could not be far distant.
Although her death has not been altogether been unanticipated it is more or less surrounded with many sorrowful circumstances, and widespread sympathy is felt for the mother and the members of her family. The deceased young lady, who was 21 years of age, endeared herself to all those around her by her natural sweetness of disposition, and the patience with which she endured the suffering
which her long and painful Illness entailed. The funeral will leave her mother's residence this morning at 10 o'clock and arrive at Kerang cemetery at 2 p.m. The funeral arrangements are entrusted to Messrs. Adams and Sons.

Notes
General:
Dennis and Mary lost 3 sons in World War 1, 2 in France on the Somme in 1916 and one in Syria in 1918. They lost two grandsons in New Guinea in 1943 during World War 2.

In the 1912 electoral roll, Dennis Bannan was living at Fitzroy Street Kerang with his wife Mary and his mother, also Mary (Redmond). He died at Garfield, Victoria in 1947. He was living at the Iona Hotel, Garfield at the time of his death.

The Late David Eyre Simcocks (1937 - 24.9.2006 late of Garfield) remembers, as a child, going to the Garfield Hotel to get some alcohol for his mother to make her Christmas puddings and seeing deceased Dennis Bannan laid out in one of the rooms at the hotel. He turned around and ran out of the Hotel and went back home, without the alcohol. He recounted this story to me during a discussion in about 2000.

Notes
General:
Edward Bannan aged 30 came to Australia on a ship named "Thelis", 460 tons, which sailed from Cork on 9 November, 1841 and arrived at Port Phillip on 17 February, 1842. His trade was labourer, religion Roman Catholic. Also aboard this ship was Patrick Bannon, 31 carrier of Co. Cork and his wife, Mary Anne, 30 and their son John 6. It is uncertain if they were related to Edward Bannan.

Edward and Mary Redmond were married at St Mary's Church, Geelong. Witnesses to Edward and Mary's marriage were Maurice Treheny (?) and Catherine Redmond.

Edward's occupation was always recorded as farmer. In the 1875 Post Office Directory, Edward's occupation was said to be carrier.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on their souls.Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for them.
Sadly missed.

In 1921 Francis's mother wrote to the War Office asking for his personal possessions to which the Army replied that whilst the belongings of his brother William J had been returned in 1917, in view of the time that has elapsed since Francis's demise, it was considered improbably that any other articles were recovered.

Francis Thomas Bannan is buried or possibly commemorated as his remains may not have been found, at the Villers Brettoneux Memorial Cemetery in France. He was a private number 1878 with the 23rd Bn. Australian Infantry AIF.
