Newspaper clipping from gr. mothers collection

Grandma Bennett
Mrs. Harriet Bennett,widow of the late Nelson Bennett, passed peacefully away 
at her home in this place last Friday morning about 7:10 o'clock, aged in her 
81st. year. Death was due to complication of diseases, due to age and 
infirmities. She was the daughter of Curtis and Betsy McCloud., who were 
natives of Vermont.
All the care and love that a skilled physican and an affectionate son and 
loving grand-daughter could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance 
were brought into play, but the fiat of Him who rules our incomings and out-
goings had been issued, despite the entreaties of all who knew and loved her, 
and their appeals were overruled. No mother ever received better attention or 
was more tenderly cared for in her declining days than that administered to 
Mrs. Bennett by her son, John, and grand daughter Mrs. John Bishop.
Vain in any attempt to measure the loss of a mother to her children after all 
the poets have sung and lovers dreamed, outside of heaven there is no love like 
mother love. We believe the tender care devoted to those nearest and dearest, 
went with her to the better land, and in the possibilities of eternity, may be 
needed hereafter. We fancy her waiting them in the place prepared for her a 
little apart from the innumberable company in bright array. In the light, not 
of the sun, neither of the moon, we see her beyond the fields of fadeless 
asphodel, under the waiving palms, beside the still waters bordered with silver 
lilies. These may be merely figures, but they bear a precious meaning to 
yearning hearts made for the deep household loves; hearts what will not be 
comforted because the Angel of the House is missing.
Impressive funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon conducted by 
Rev. A.L.Rogers assisted by Rev. A.B.Johnson after which all that was mortal of 
this grand old mother of Israel was tenderly conveyed to our Silent City, 
where, by the side of devoted husband she now rests in peace.
The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse.
Harriett McCloud Bennett was born February 8, 1835, departed this life March 
11, 1916, 81 yrears, 1 month and 3 days. She was united in marriage to Nelson 
T. Bennett on Easter Sunday, April 4th, 58 years ago. Two sons and one daughter 
were born to this union, the daughter and father gone before, leaving the two 
sons, William E. and John S. Bennett, also eight grand-children and seven great-
grand-children.
