BETHEL.

DEATH OF DEA ANDREW L. BENEDICT
 Andrew L. Benedict, an old resident of Bethel, died on Monday afternoon in Waterbury hospital. The deceased had been In poor health for several months. The family realiz d his critical condition and thought 1t bpst to remove him from his home on Center stl eet to hospital in Waterbury, wh re he would be under the care of his son, Dr John Benedict, of that place. MT Benedict's death came auddenly to large circle of friends who h Id him ia high esteem. He was life- ,Dg resident of Bethel and was born in Plumtrees school district, August 13, 1922. His father, John Benedict, was 8 prominent and successful farmer, which enabled him to give his children practi- cal education. Andrew L., in early life, was teacher in the district school of the town. His government was of a per- suaslve nature in school; 8 kind word often did better than the use of the fer ule. The custom in opening his morn ing session of school with short prayer and Bible reading is still remembered. Mir Benedict united with the Congrega sional church, June 4, 1S43. He was ap. pointed deacon November 10, 1858, which office he held for nearly 27 years. He was also superintendent of the Sunday school for several years and for many years taught Bible class. His life needs no eulogy, his works speak for him. MT and Mrs Benedict celebrated the 50th an. uiversary of their marriage, September p, 1897, when 200 or more friends and neighbors called to congratulate them. The deceased is survived by 8 widow, tbree sons and daughter and several grandchildren. His sons are Rev Arthur J. Benedict of Housatonic, Mass, Dr John M. Benedict of Waterbury, Dr Frank sAllen Benedict of Seymour and Miss Ursula, who resides at home on Center street. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. Rev Henry L. Slack, pastor, conducted the funeral services at the house. The acunaroru
