ANOTHER SAD DEATH

     Last week we reported the sudden and distressing death at Campbellsville of
Reverend S. 
G. (Schuyler Goodson) SHELLEY, and this week we are called upon to write the demise
of his 
sister-in-law, which occurred in the same home as did the passing of Rev. SHELLEY, a
few hours 
later.
     Mrs. Mell BENNETT, who was a sister of Mrs. SHELLEY, had come from Breckinridge
County to 
make her home with her sister, while Rev. SHELLEY was very sick with pneumonia. 
Mrs. BENNETT 
was taken with the same malady, and died in a few hours after friends had started to

Breckinridge County with the remains of Reverend SHELLEY.  A message of the death of
Mrs. 
BENNETT was sent to the funeral party, and a stop was made until the body of Mrs.
BENNETT 
could reach them, in order that the remains of the two, could reach Bewleyville at
the same 
time.
     Mrs. BENNETT was about seventy years old, a fine Christian woman, and a devout
member of 
the Methodist Church.  A lady in this town who was well acquainted with the
deceased, says she 
was one of the best women she ever knew.
     Mrs. SHELLY (misspelled in the article) is bravely standing the double shock. 
Full of 
love for the God she worships, she takes her sorrow to Him.
