BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1899 Death of John Denniston John Denniston, father of City Clerk Wm M. Denniston, died at the home of the latter in West Bedford, Saturday forenoon at 11 o'clock. Mr. Denniston was 79 years of age the 5th day of last May, and had been in poor health for some time, and while death had been anticipated by the members of the family, it came rather unexpected, as his condition early that morning was seemingly about as usual. Mr. Denniston had lived in sight of Bedford all his life, and saw the country developed from a wilderness to a thriving commercial center. He leaves many relatives and friends, two daughters, Mrs. Myra Cayse and Mrs. Nora Garacas being residents of St. Louis. The funeral will occur Sunday afternoon at Erie. The exercises will be conducted by Rev. C. E. Asbury of the M. E. church, Mr. Deniston having been a life long member of that denomination. (May 4, 1820 - Sep 30, 1899 Erie Cemetery)
