He would have been 27 years old next month and had lived in Salem all his life. Mr. Banta went to the Mexican border with Company M as a first sergeant and was a second lieutenant when the company left for overseas. He was promoted to first lieutenant while in France and was discharged from the service following his return from France. He was employed by H.
