Joel Benedict, 82, died at his home on Rich street, Friday morning, March 
27. He had been in poor health for the past year and was ill in bed for the 
past month.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Benedict, and was born October 27, 
1853, in Oakland county. In 1900 he married May Deitz, who died, and in 1905 
he married Addie N. Hendrick.

When he was four years old the family moved to Wisconsin for two years and 
then back to Michigan. Mrs. Benedict was one of the first four mail carriers

Surviving him are his wife, Addie; two children, Ralph C. Benedict of 
Portland, and Miss Lorraine Benedict of Ann Arbor, one sister, Miss Kate 
Benedict of Ionia; and two grandchildren, Edith and Katherine. The death of
