WE were in error in stating that the
expenses of the burial of the late Geo

Bennington friends, not relatives. Up
on learning of Mr.. Days death, Harry
Whitney of this village, nephew, took
charge of the remains and buried them.
The generosity of some of Mr. Days old
friends was shown by the fact that, pre-
yious to Mr.. Whitney's learning of his
uncle's death, they had arranged for the
burial expenses.
