06 24 MISS KATIE BENNETT,
daughter of Amos, 1852-1903
Miss
Katie Bennett, daughter of the late Amos Bennett, died at the family home, 204
North Church Street, at an early hour Monday morning. She had been in poor health for several months, but was confined to bed only two weeks.
Heart
failure is given as the cause of death.
She was born in the home where she died, December 15, 1852.
Miss
Bennett’s life was an admirable one in every respect. Hers was that beautiful quality of patience
which bespeaks the sincere Christian and her heart was full of kindness and
good will. Tender and affectionate by
nature, she was more than a devoted sister in her home and her kindly presence
will be keenly missed by the members of her family.
As
a neighbor and friend, she was greatly beloved and esteemed for her fine traits
of character and her intellectual powers.
Her influence was good and helpful among her large circle of friends and
acquaintances, hence it may be truly said that her mission in life was nobly
fulfilled and death's summons found her ready to go to her merited reward.
In
Miss Bennett’s death our community has lost one of its most highly respected
women and in their sorrow and bereavement her sisters and brother have the
sincere sympathy of our people.
The
funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock. Services will be held at the house and the
remains will be interred in Oak Hill cemetery. Watertown News,
