Benson Augusta S 230712 p1
Mrs. C. A. Benson Called By Death Sunday Evening; After a long struggle against illness, Mrs. C. A. Benson passed
away early Sunday evening at the family home.  Her death marked the end of a battle extending over many months, in
which several blood transfusion were given by her daughter, Marguerite, but all without avail, only serving to delay the
inevitable. Augusta S. Benson was born in Sweden in 1864, coming to America when a young girl, and marrying C. A.
Benson in Chicago in 1891.  The family settled in Patterson Colony twelve years ago, being among the early colonists.
Beside the husband, three daughters, Mrs. Florence Barber, Alice and Marguerite, and three sons, Harvey, William and
Raymond, mourn her loss.  A brother and sister in the Middle West also survive the deceased. Funeral services were held
from the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon with Rev. Warren Elsing presiding.  An audience that filled the
auditorium and a mass of floral tributes testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held by her many friends and a
long procession followed the remains to Del Puerto cemetery.  Arrangements were in charge of Davis and Evans.
