BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL
James William, the little son of Mr and Mrs Owen C.Bennett, was brought here 
from Lansing, July 16th, and with loving hands was laid to rest in Lakeside 
cemetery. He died after a painful illness of scarlet fever which had lasted 
about two weeks.

On account of the nature of the disease the body was taken directly to the 
cemetery where a short service was held conducted by the Rev.W.J. Prestidge of 
the Congregational Church, the singing being by the choir of the same church.

Those from out of town who were in attendance at the services were Mr and Mrs 
John Bennett of Lansing, Mr and Mrs Frank Bennett of Portland, Mr and Mrs 
E.Jackson of Sunfield, Mrs Horton of Sunfield, Alton Stine of S.Dakota, Rose 
Troutner and Addie Stine of Battle Creek.
                                
                              OBITUARY
James William Bennett, the little son of Mr and Mrs Owen Bennett, was born at 
Hastings, Michigan on July  25, 1908 and died in Lansing July 15, 1910. He was a 
most patient sufferer and leaves to mourn their loss his father and mother, also 
other relatives and friends who never can forget his sweet face.

We live in a land of sunshine, So, when our darling died, 
We simply pushed away the flowers That littered the green hillside,
And made him a bed of blossoms; This dear little child of ours,
And covered with sweet blossoms from head to feet.
We left him asleep with the flowers.

                            CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our appreciation and heartfelt thanks to our many friends for 
their loving kindness and sympathy extended to us in our bereavement in the 
death of our darling baby. Especially do we wish to thank the choir for their 
kindly assistance,
                        Mr and Mrs Owen Bennett
                        Mr and Mrs John Bennett.
