Ionia Standard, 25 Jun 1909

George W. Benedict, son of the late Loren Benedict, born in Otisco, Ionia 
county, in 1843, sixty-five years and seven months ago, died at the home in 
Orange, on Bellevue road, three and a half miles south of Ionia city, just 
after midnight Fri. morning.  All his life since he was two years old had been 
passed in the neighborhood where he died.

About ten days ago he suffered an injury of his hand, and on Friday, a week 
before his death, he complained that his arm pained him.  On Saturday, he and 
his wife went to town, to see Dr. ?? who was out of the city.  He did not ?? a 
doctor until the following Thursday, when Dr. Winchell was sent for.  It was a 
case of blood poisoning, and the delay was fatal.  He had been in poor health 
all the spring, and his condition probably had something to do with the speedy 
work of the infection.

He was married to Rosilla Wolverton, who survives.  There are six children also 
surviving: Earl of Ronald, Ross and Elmer of Orange, Elta, wife of Albert Hinds 
of Orange, Miss Anna and Floyd, living at home.

The funeral service was held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 2.  Interment, 
Balcom cemetery.
