Mrs. Jessie Franklin Benway aged 32 years, died of pneumonia, at her home
near Union Village, Monday, Feb. 1st, 1892, after a brief illness of but
four days.

The deceased was born near the same place where she died, was married to
Mr. Robert L. Benway a few months more than ten years ago, whom she leaves
to mourn his sad loss also two bright little daughters. Mrs. Benway was
very highly respected by all, on account of her kindness of heart and very
sympathetic nature; she was a true loving wife, a devoted mother and a
christian from childhood. The mourning relatives may rest assured of the
deepest sympathy of this entire community. A large number of relatives
friends and neighbors assembled at the Union church where the funeral was
held on Thursday to pay their last tribute of love and respect to the one
they had loved in life so dearly.

Rev. W. W. Stevens spoke a few words of comfort and consolation to the
living when all that was left on earth of the one so full of life and vigor
but a few hours since, was laid in their last resting place.
