Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 16, 1892
H. O. Benton

It is with regrets that we are called upon to mention the death of our old 
friend H. O. Benton.  After several months illness his spirit took its 
everlasting flight to that “bourne from which none never return” at eight 
o’clock on Wednesday morning.

While he had been failing for several months he was not confined to his bed but 
a few days prior to his death. He had long been a citizen of Jackson and did 
much to aid in building up the town by his activity in the real estate 
business.  He was always ready to speak a good word for his town and her 
people.  He was always energetic and was never known to idle a moment away.  

His remains were laid in their last resting place on Thursday at 3 o’clock by 
his brethren of the mystic tie after a funeral at the Baptist church,  
conducted by Rev. J. T. Kimbell.  An unusually large number of friends attended

Some not legible……………but states he had four daughters, all married and he was 
67 years old.
