gained much of her strength and
was able to take long walks about
town. So pleased were they that
they decided to return to Rogers
and close out their property. This
they did, but by the time they re-
turned to Mena three weeks ago
Mrs. Benedict was so weak she
could hardly get about, and she was
unable to recover the lost ground
On arrival here, however, a house
was purchased on Church avenue
which they at once occupied. The
deceased was a sister of J. II. Dodge
who located in Mena several months
ago.
Mr.. Benedict and his daughter
left Monday with The remains for
Cortland, Neb., where they will be
laid to rest beside those of the chill
dren and relatives who have gone
before.
Mr.. Benedict desires The Star to
say for him that he never mel
with such universal kindness as he
| received from the people here, and
that while he may be held else
where for sometime by family ties
his attachment for Mena. its eli
mate and people, is such that he ex-

a large portion of the time here
