Thursday, 3 October 1901


         At Benson
         
         CHARLES BENJAMIN, a highly respected citizen
       of Benson, died at his home in the west part of
       the town last Thursday. He had been in poor
       health for several years. His funeral was held
       at his home Saturday afternoon. Rev. G. E. Cady
       officiated. MR. BENJAMIN leaves a wife, one son
       and a daughter to mourn the loss of a kind hus-
       band and father.
       
         
         Early Monday morning the sad news reached town
       of the death of EDWARD S. HOWARD, who had died in
       Albany, N.Y., the day previous. MR. HOWARD went
       to the hospital in Albany about three weeks ago
       to have his hip operated upon. The operation took
       place two weeks ago last Monday, which has re-
       sulted in his death. His remains reached Fair
       Haven Monday evening and were met by several of
       his friends who accompanied them to his late home.
       In the death of MR. HOWARD Benson loses one of
       its best citizens. An occount (sic) of the
       funeral will be given next week.
