Last Rites Held Tuesday for Clinton Resident Since War Days

    Luman BENNETT, 87, Clinton County resident since Civil War days, died at 
the County Infirmary Saturday, September 21, 1929.  Funeral services were 
conducted by Rev. T.S. CLEAVER at the Osgood funeral home Tuesday afternoon and

    Luman BENNETT was born in New York state November 2, 1841.  At the outbreak 
of the Civil War he volunteered for service in the Union Army but sickness 
prevented his marching to colors.  At about that time he moved here and had 
been a resident of this county every since.
    He was united in marriage to Miss Harriet MOWAT of St. Johns and two 
children were born to them, both dying in infancy.  Mrs. BENNETT passed away 33 
years ago.
    Mr. BENNETT is survived by a sister, Mrs. Alice HULBERT of Detroit, and 
three brothers, Benzoni BENNETT of Chesaning, Charles of Kalamazoo, and Albert 
of Chapin.
