J. D. Pelton

James Pelton, an old and respected citizen, who has made his home north of 
Benton for many years, died quite suddenly at the home of Mrs. M. J. Wills last 
Friday at noon. Mr. Pelton was on his way carrying the Paron route mail when 
stricken. When he got to the Wills home he was speechless and passed away 
within an hour of being taken into the house.

Funeral services were held at the family home in Benton Saturday afternoon, 
a large number of friends of the family being in attendance to pay a last 
tribute of respect to one whom all respected. Services were conducted by Rev. 
W. A. Steel, pastor of the Benton Methodist church. Burial was at Rosemont 
Cemetery.

Mr. Pelton is survived by his wife and five children: Oscar, Misses Angie 
and Belle Pelton, Mrs. Frank Shoppach, and Mrs. Harvey Wright.
