ROSA M. BENTON.

  Rosa Mary, aged 16 years, 7 months and 28 days, a daughter of John 
and Mary Benton, of 2904 Eighth avenue, died yesterday morning, the 
15th inst.  She was an amiable young lady, loved by a large circle of 
friends and respected by all who knew her.  She was carried off in the 
spring time of youth by that fell destroyer, typhoid fever.  Before her 
illness she was forelady in the silk factory, and by her generous and 
ladylike treatment of those under her she became a general favorite and 
is sincerely laments by her associates.  She was a member of the 
Catholic church in this city.  The body will be taken from her parents' 
home at half-past 7 o'clock Friday morning to St. Patrick's church in 
Newry.  The friends will follow on the first train afterward.
