Jesse NJ. Bennett is Dead.

This message conveying 70 the
many friends Of that excellent
young man the news that death
had relievd his long struggle,
was received at about 10 o'clock
Saturday morning, and it cast a
shadow of sorrow over this entire
community. For several months
Mr.. Bennett had been suffering
with that dread disease, con-
sumption, and for the past two
weeks. all hope of his recovery
was lost and his friends only en-
deavored to keep the spark of life
ablaze as long as possible, and to
make easy for him the long jour
ney across the dark waters. Flu
neral services were conducted by
Rev. Dan Conley at the old Beth
lehem church at 1920 O'Clock
Sunday morning. Never in our
recollection has there been lar
ger crowd in attendance at a
funeral at that place, which
showed the respect and esteem
in which the deceased was held
by his neighbors, who had known
him from childhood and who low
ed him as a brother. To the
aged mother and father, and to
his brother Johnson M, who sur
vive the deceased, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy in this their
great affection.
