Portland Observer, 23 Oct 1930

Death Takes Old Resident of Portland.

William Benedict Dies Suddenly From Heart Trouble At Home In Detroit

Will Bring Body to Old Home for Burial.

Funeral Services To Be Held From Baptist Church Friday Afternoon At 1:30.

Word was received Tuesday night by Fred Klotz advising him of the death in 
Detroit of William Benedict, a former well known and highly esteemed Portland 
resident.  Mr. Benedict passed away suddenly at his home in that city from 
heart trouble.  He had been ill about four weeks.  The body will be brought to 
Portland and funeral services held from the Baptist church Friday afternoon at 
1:30 o’clock.  The services will be in charge of a minister from Detroit.

Mr. Benedict, who was past 70 years of age, was born in Watertown, N. Y., and 
came to Orange township with his parents when four years of age.  Forty-eight 
years ago he was united in marriage to Carrie Nicholson, the couple residing in 
Orange for several years after that event when they moved to this village, 
occupying the house where Morris West now resides.  For some time while living 
in Portland Mr. Benedict conducted a meat market in a building located on the 
west side on the site now occupied by the Agnes Newman memorial fountain, at 
the northeast corner of Powers park.  About 20 years ago the family left 
Portland and for several years lived at Port Huron, later moving to Detroit.

Besides the widow he is survived by three daughters and one son.  They are Mrs. 
Peter Pelliter, of Port Huron; Mrs. Gerald Scott, of Worcester, Mass.; Mrs. 
Allen Streeter and Louis Benedict, of Detroit.  Mrs. Chas. Miles is a niece and 
George Bandfield a nephew.  Fred Klotz is a nephew by marriage, his mother and 
Mrs. Benedict being sisters.
