The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Tuesday, November 14, 1916
Nita O., the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ross W. Benedict, was born in 
Orange, Jan. 17, 1907.  She came to brighten their hearts and home on the 
second anniversary of her parent’s wedding day.  She was a bright and loving 
child, was much interested in her school work and also her Sunday school.  She 
was a member of the sunshine band of little girls and enjoyed their meetings 
and had planned to entertain them at her home but could not on account of 
illness.

She seemed to be a very robust child until about a year ago she suffered a 
severe attack of tonsillitis and never was strong afterward.  Disease had 
fastened itself in her little body and all that medical skill and loving care 
could do availed nothing.  She gradually failed and passed away at the home on 
Lafayette street Monday afternoon, Nov. 6, at 2 o’clock.  Her little light was 
extinguished at the age of 9 years, 9 months, 20 days.

The funeral services were held at the LeValley church at 2 o’clock Nov. 8.  
The church was beautifully decorated in white.  Sermon was by Rev. Hansen 
assisted by Rev. C. E. Hoag of Ionia.  Text, “She is not dead but sleepeth.”  
Singing was by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Spencer.  She was laid to rest in the 
Balcom cemetery amid a profusion of beautiful flowers to await the 
resurrection day.
