Portland Observer, 9 Jul 1878

Our people had scarcely recovered from the shock caused by the fatal disaster 
at Westphalia, when at 8 o’clock yesterday morning, the startling intelligence 
spread through the village that Mrs. C. H. Benedict, wife of Wm. G. Benedict, 
had just dropped dead at her residence on the west side of the river.  It seems 
that Mrs. Benedict was engaged about her washing, there being no one present 
but her mother, when she suddenly fell to the floor without uttering a word.  
Assistance was immediately called in, but there was only a gasp as they lifted 
her to the sofa, and life was extinct.  Dr. Hugg was called, who pronounced the 
cause of her death disease of the heart.  Mrs. Benedict was in her usual health 
up to the time she fell, but has for several years been subject to a rheumatic 
difficulty, which at times agitated her heart considerably.

The deceased has been a resident of this place for many years, and was well 
known as one of the milliners of this place.  Her sudden death was a hard blow 
to her husband, to whom she had been married but about four years.  The funeral 
services will be held at her late residence at two o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
