Got into the Civil War fairly late, as he enlisted on 6 January, 1864 at Guilford, New York for a 3 year enlistment. Mustered in as a private in Company D of the 44th New York Volunteer Infantry. This regiment was also known as "Ellsworth Avengers." They were an elite group with qualifications to even be considered. Men had to be at least 5 feet 9 inches, single and of good moral character.
At the Battle of the Wilderness on 5 May 1864 he was wounded and after his recovery he was transferred initially to Co. B on 23 September 1864, then to the 146th New York on 11 October 1864.

Daniel Thomas Banner was born in Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], Jan. 14, 1844, one of ten children of William and Jane (Bartlett) Banner, nine of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Four of these had preceded him to the other shore and four remain to mourn his loss. In young manhood he experienced religion and joined the Presbyterian church of Guilford Center. He answered the call of his country and enrolled, when nineteen years of age, in Company D, 44th Regiment, later 146th Regiment New York Infantry. He saw active service in seven different battles and was wounded three times. He witnessed Lee's surrender and received honorable discharge at the close of the war. September 18, 1872 he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie P. Warner. One daughter, Priscilla, was born June 23, 1879 but was spared to them only seven months. His wife, Carrie, died Oct. 8, 1910 after several years of suffering during which time she was most tenderly and constantly cared for by her husband. June 19, 1912 he was married to Harriet T. Graves and for sixteen years they have traveled side by side in true companionship sharing together life's joys and cares. For twelve years, they have spent their winters in Florida, four in Mount Dora with Mrs. Banner's uncle, D.F. Gorham and eight in Daytona Beach with her son, Rexford Graves. Mr. Banner loved the southland and often during his last sickness expressed his desire to again visit Florida. Mrs. Banner has been a faithful, loving wife and mourns the loss of a devoted husband. Besides his wife, he is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Roxy Jane Lathrop of Binghamton, N.Y.; Mrs. Mary Josephine Ensworth of Guilford, N.Y. and Mrs. Hannah Elizabeth Willets of Norwich, and one brother Henry Eugene Banner of Boone, Iowa. The funeral services were held from his late home on North Main street. Rev. L.E. Sanford, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church officiating. Rev. Frank R. James of Binghamton, a former pastor, was also present and paid tribute to the departed brother. Mr. Banner had a host of friends and in spite of the stormy weather the house was filled to capacity. The music was furnished by the male quartet, Lester Stead, Bert Wilcox, Chas. Odell and Chas. Colwell. Only two of the four remaining G.A.R. comrades in Bainbridge, Mr. Frank Finney and Mr. Lewis Perry, were able to attend. The Daughters of Veterans attended in a body and the color Bearers stood guard at the house and at the grave. Among the floral tributes were pieces from G.A.R and D.A.R., the American Legion and the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and many other beautiful pieces from friends and relatives. Mr. Banner had led an active life to the last. He was always ready to help in church work; for years he has been the leader in planning and conducting the memorial Day services. He was a great lover of music and his unusually clear, sweet tenor voice was often heard in quartet in solo numbers and will long echo in the memory of those who heard him sing. He was president of the Banner Family Reunion and has been looking forward hopefully to being able to attend one more of the yearly gatherings. (1928)
