Ionia Sentinel, 10 Jan 1884

Died.

Benedict – At her late residence in Orange, Nov. 17, 1883, Mrs. Pamelia
Benedict, aged 51 years 8 months.

Pamelia Chase was born in Jefferson county, N.Y., March 2, 1832.  At the age of
14 she moved with her parents to Watertown, Jefferson county, N.Y., where in
1852, she was united in marriage to Lewis N. Benedict, with whom she came to
Michigan in 1874 and settled in Ionia.  March 1876 they moved onto their farm in
the township of Orange, where they lived until death called her away.

At the age of 15 Sister Benedict attended a revival at Watertown, conducted by
Rev. James Ervin.  There she felt her lost condition, and fled to Christ for
safety.  She immediately united with the M.E. church and has ever since been an
acceptable member.  There were times of darkness and trial, but through all she
struggled on, ever finding in Christ a present help.  Her last illness was one
of continual suffering for many weary weeks.  But through all she was patient
and hopeful.

A companion and two children are left to mourn a faithful companion and loving
mother. – J.F. Orwick.

[Transcriber’s note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that she was
buried in Portland Cemetery.]
