Grim Reaper Claims Mrs. Ross Benedict

Mrs. Ross Benedict died at the home on East Main street, Tuesday afternoon, just
before six o’clock, after an heroic struggle of about three months with a
complication of troubles, which of late had seemed to be lessening, but on
Monday, the symptoms grew more alarming, and on Tuesday evening the end came.

Mrs. Benedict was a daughter of the late James F. Dalzell of North Plains, and
of her immediate family only two brothers survive her, Charles of Muir, and Fred
of this city.  She lost her daughter about two years ago, which depressed her
very much.  Mr. and Mrs. Benedict had been married about fourteen years, and the
last five years had been residents of Ionia city.  Mrs. Benedict had many
friends, won through her kindliness of heart and genuineness of feeling.

The funeral will be held at the home on Friday at 1:30.  Rev. R.J. Slee will
have charge of the services and the interment will be in the Balcom cemetery in
Berlin township.

------

The funeral for Mrs. Ross Benedict was attended at the home on East Main street
on Friday afternoon.  Rev. R.J. Slee conducted the service, and Mrs. Willis L.
Peck and Mrs. R.A. Colwell furnished the music.  The bearers were Fred Dalzell,
Frank Benedict, Floyd Benedict, Albert Hinds, Lester Wolverton and Fred
Benedict, and interment was in the Balcom cemetery in Berlin township.  A large
number of friends and neighbors attended the service and followed the remains to
the cemetery, and there was an unusually large number of most beautiful flowers.
 Relatives from out of town were Fred Benedict of Big Rapids, George Dalzell and
family from Muir, Floyd Benedict and family from Muir, Mrs. Ella Holmes of
Belding, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Benedict of Greenville.

[Transcriber Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that she was the
daughter of John and Julia (Stewart) Dalzell.]
