MRS. ADA BENNETT,

Wife of Harry Bennett, foreman of the Juniata erecting shops, died at 8 
o'clock last evening at 1330 Spring Garden street, Philadelphia.  She 
had been ailing for the past two months.  When Mr. Bennett went to 
Philadelphia to superintend the construction of engines for the 
government at the Baldwin Locomotive works he took his wife and 
children with him.  Not finding any relief in Philadelphia, Mrs. 
Bennett spent several weeks in Atlantic City, but returned to the 
Quaker City without having regained her health.  She gradually grew 
worse until last evening, when she quietly passed away.  Deceased was 
42 years of age.  She was a member of St. Luke's Episcopal church of 
this city, and was a true Christian lady.  She was happy only when 
performing some deed of kindness for the less fortunate in life.  Quiet 
and unassuming she was beloved by all who knew her.  Besides her 
husband she is survived by four sons - Raymond, Burton, William and 
Emory; also by one sister, Mrs. Annie Boyles, of this city.  The 
remains will be brought here for interment.
