Middle Ga Argus
Mrs. H. O. Benton

On Tuesday last about noon the spirit of Mrs. H. O. Benton fled to the realms 
above, after a long and lingering illness.  When this good lady “wrapped the 
drapery of her couch about her and lay down to pleasant dreams,” Jackson lost a 
worthy and faithful Christian, for a better lady never lived than Mr. Benton.  
She bore her sufferings well – was benevolent, generous, kind and always 
forgiving; true to every trust and falsie to none.  She was a full of modesty 
as she was of merit.  In her death her friends and loved ones can look through 
the veil of sorrow and the valley of the shadow and see God in it all.   She 
was ready for the Master’s call when it came.

The funeral services came off at the Baptist Church on Wednesday, and fitting 
tribute’s were paid to her pre and spotless memory by her pastor, R. J. T. 
Kimbell, from the text, “I am ready, etc,” selected by herself.

Her death has cast a gloom over our town and community and she loved God, loved 
what was pure and good.  She was about 63 years of age, and leaves a devoted 
husband and four daughters, Mrs. J. A. Carmichael, Mrs. Chas. Harkness, Mrs. M. 
G. Barfield, and Mrs. C. G. fennel, to mourn her untimely death.

To the grief stricken family an friends, we join the community in their 
sympathy.
