an illness of only four days.  Mrs. Bennett lacked but a few days of being

than two weeks, whose death occurred on January 23.  Mrs. Bennett's maiden

with her parents when a child.

The deceased was an excellent Christian woman of the sturdy type of her
generation, a splendid neighbor and an honored friend of all who knew her
and a woman who will be greatly missed in the community.  She had long been
a loyal and devout member of the Primitive Baptist church and always a
friends to the helpless and needy.
