Editor William Benns Died At Butler Monday

Butler, Ga., June 29 – Mr. William N. Benns, senior editor of the Butler Herald 
died at his home in Butler this afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Mr. Benns was one of 
the most prominent citizens of this place and has been the editor and 
proprietor of the Butler Herald for 33 years, during which time he has made it 
one of the best weekly papers in the State.

He was a life long and consistent member of the Methodist Church.  He began 
life without a penny but by pluck and energy and patient endeavor he succeeded 
in making of it a well-rounded success.

Besides many relatives and friends Mr. Benns leaves a wife and two sons, Chas. 
E. Benns, Jr., editor of the Butler Herald, and Mr. Brooks Benns, both of this 
place. – Macon Telegraph

Genial, kindly Editor Benns is dead.  Honored and respected by all who knew 
him, he had entered into that rest prepared for the faithful and the Butler 
Herald will live after him as a fitting memorial of his perseverance and 
energy.  He will be greatly missed in town and county.  Our sympathies go out 
to the bereaved family.
