Rev. John Monro Banister (1818—1907) was a beloved minister in the Protestant Episcopal Church for 61 years. Lady Grace Hinds Curzon (1879—1958) was a countess and a marchioness and was awarded the Grand Cross. Dr. Thomas Fearn (1789—1863) studied surgery in London and Paris. He moved to Huntsville and became one of the most respected doctors in the country. He owned the local waterworks. Elizabeth Lowry (1800—1881) was a native of Madison County and played a role in the Underground Railroad. Her home still stands on Kildare Avenue. These former residents will have their stories of life in Huntsville revealed, and some interesting history of the city itself will accompany the presentation. All are buried in Maple Hill Cemetery.
