which she lived her loss to the com
munity and church is far reaching
for neighbors and friends testify tC
her helpful service and CHEEKY
cOmradeship which was so gladly
rendered to one and all. After more
than thirty years on the farm, where
the keen industry and cOmmendable
thrift of this wife upheld her hus-

life, Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett erected a
beautiful new modern home on a
plot of land belonging to this farm
and it was here amid her flowers
that death came; just at the time
when from human standpoint, she
should have been given many years
in which to enjoy the fruits of her
labors.. 1t was when Slaughter Neck
decided to build new church that

for hers is a record unique in point
of loyal serVice-for more than for
ty years she had served as organ
ist, and children grown into fathers
and mothers will ever hold the mel
Ody of her hymns as a henediction
to their many lives. Her funeral
was held in the new church of
which she was so proud on Tuesday
afternoon, and was the largest wit
messed there for many years. A for
mer pastor, Rev. Thornton, preached
the sermon, assisted by the present
pastor, Rev. Willis, and the scrip
ture lesson was read by Rev. Otis
Jefferson of Chincoteague, a Slaugh-
ter Neck lad, whose childhood and
boyhood church life was frightened
by the faithful organist. Besides her
husband, Horace e. Bennett, the de-
ceased leaves two sons and their
families, Freeman Bennett of Mil

and nephews and a large circle of
friends rise up to call her blessed.

full. Interment in the Slaughter
