SAMUEL BENNER

  Mr. Samuel Benner died suddenly Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock, in his 
shanty here.  He had been suffering with organic heart trouble for about a 
year.  While sitting on a crate engaged in conversation with his brother 
Adam, he fell over, and life was soon gone.
  He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Benner, deceased, and was born at 
Henrietta, November 25, 1862, being aged 58 years 5 months and 25 days.  For 
a number of years he was employed here by the Woodbury Land company, having 
worked at the clay mines.  He is survived by these brothers:  Isaac, of 
Henrietta; Adam of Trough Creek; Levi, of Cross Keys and John, of Royer.  He 
was taken to Cross Keys, where funeral services were held in the Brethren 
church on Sunday afternoon.  Interment was made in the cemetery at that 
place.
