Clay Benton,

The bright and interesting little son of Jacob and Barbara Benton, who 
reside near McKee's Gap, on the Hollidaysburg branch, died of a 
complication of diseases, at his parent's home last night.  The child 
would have been 2 years old had he lived until the 9th of May, next, 
and his untimely death is a sad blow to his parents, whose many friends 
in this city will be grieved to learn of their loss.
