The Standard of Raleigh, Oct. 3, 1860
The Standard of Raleigh, Oct. 3, 1860
DIED:
   At his residence in Halifax Couty on the 4th of June last, BENJAMIN W. 
ARRINGTON, in the 45th year of his age, leaving a wife and eight children.
   The deceased was a man of most excellent character in all the relations of 
life and in none was he more conspicuous than in his attention to his sick and 
afflicted neighbors. Perhaps he was the more cheerfully led to the performance 
of his sacred duty, by his own gradually declining health, which for many 
years previous to his death was waning and grew more feeble with coming years, 
until his taper expired without a drop of oil to find it longer. He was not 
however without a termporal reward for his attention to the sick, for he 
experienced in his own afflictions all the kindness and comfort which a 
devoted wife, affectionate children, and grateful neighbors could bestow. He 
died perfectly resigned and full of hope.
