Saranac Advertiser 11/27/1918
SARANAC ADVERTISER, MI, 11-27-1918:  "Obituary - Eunice M. Simmons was born in
Niagara Co., N.Y., January 22, 1840, and died in her home in Berlin township,
Nov. 18, 1918, aged 78 years, 9 months and 27 days.
   She came to Michigan with her parents in 1853 and settled in Berlin Township,
Ionia Co., where she has resided until the time of her death.
   October 17, 1858, she was united in marriage to Jerome P. Bennett, and to
this union were born four children, Orley C. Bennett, of Fort Smith, Ark.,
Dennis A., of Berlin, Iva E. Dorin, of Orange, and Amy D. Harwood, of Berlin. 
These with one brother, Leonard Simmons, of Idaho, and four grandchildren all
live to mourn her loss.
   She was for many years a member of the Wesleyan Methodist church, but for a
period of four years has been an invalid suffering in her home.
   The pain of her going is with those who remain.
   The funeral services were held at the W. M. church, on Thursday, conducted by
Rev. Rennells.  Burial in Balcom cemetery.
   "There is a precious one from us has gone, a voice we loved is stilled, a
place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.  But she is safe in the
arms of Jesus, she is safe on his gentle breast, there by his love, our shield,
sweetly her soul shall rest forevermore." - Mrs. H. Riterman, Greenville,
Michigan."
