Joseph Bennett, of Chester County ancestry, now residing in Philadelphia, was 
not forgotten on his 87th birthday anniversary this week.  He is a retired 
farmer of Willistown township, and one time resided in one of the Nantmeals.  
His wife was of the well known Cloud family of this county.  On Wednesday he 
was tendered a dinner at Llanerch by his relatives and he and all enjoyed the 
day.  He writes to friends here through the Local, as it is called, to say 
thanks to all.

Joseph G. Bennett died at half past nine last night.  A week ago he had a 
paralytic stroke and from then until his death he had been in a semiconscious 
condition.

At the time of his marriage to Lydia Cloud, a daughter of William Cloud, Mr. 
Bennett was a farmer in Willistown township.  From there he moved to East 
Nantmeal, and thence to Philadelphia where he resided until his death.  Even 
after his 80th birthday it was his delight to sing at the yearly Cloud 
reunions.  The singing, generally “Old Black Joe”, or some other melody, was 
always greatly enjoyed by his relatives.

Mr. Bennett is survived by his wife, Lydia Cloud Bennett, three daughters, Anna 
Ringler, of Fleetwood; Sarah Eachus and Frances Stewart, and one son, William.  
Another son, Harry G., went to California before the earthquake and has not 
been heard from since.  Nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren also 
survive Mr. Bennett.
