Freestone County, Texas Obituaries The Fairfield Recorder - Friday, September 17, 1897 Mr. Walter Bennett of Young, died rather unexpectedly in Fairfield last Thursday night about midnight. He had been troubled a few weeks with a rising in his head, and had been brought here for more convenient medical treatment, and was staying at Mrs. Huckaby’s. He was getting on well that day, but unexpectedly that night he became suddenly worse and died about midnight. The deceased was a young man about 26 years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Bennett, near Young. His death is a great bereavement to his parents and family, and they have the sympathy of many friends in the loss of their oldest son and brother.
