Harper County
Friday
February 3, 1899.

Died Suddenly.
W.D. BENHAM, a pharmacist who had been in the employ of J.K. WILSON, died very
suddenly Sunday morning at his home in this city. Mr. Benham had been sick but a
short time and only left the store last Friday night. Saturday he sent up for
some medicine, and Sunday morning he died, almost without warning. Dr. BOWERS
was summoned but did not arrive until after the death of Mr. Benham, and as no
autopsy was held it is only conjecture as to what caused his death. His brother,
who lives at Leroy, was notified by wire, as were Mrs. Benham's relatives at
Wilson, Kansas, and Mr. Benham from Leroy, arrived Monday and took charge of the
body and accompanied it and Mrs. Benham to her home in Wilson where it was
interred.
Mr. Benham was a member of the A.O.U.W. and was well thought of by his Anthony
friends, but had only been a resident about four months. The members of the
local lodge of A.O.U.W. materially assisted the family during their trouble and
proved themselves brothers in time of need.
