BENNETT- At the residence of his mother, Mrs. Hannah Bennett, in this city, on Wednesday morning, March 21, 1883, Benjamin C. Bennett, aged 25 years. The deceased was a native of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and came to Kansas about two years ago to build a home for his mother, who came west later in summer. By his industrious and steady habits he had won a large circle of friends, who with the bereaved relatives, mourn his sudden and untimely death. Scarcely two weeks ago he was in full vigor of manhood. He was first taken with an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, but the disease soon changed to an affection of the brain and nervous system. During his entire sickness the patient suffered the most intense agony until Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock, when the pain seemed to leave him, and he quietly sank to rest, free from cares and pains of this world. The funeral will be held to-day (Friday) at 2P.M. at the residence of Mrs. Hannah Bennett.
