A few years later Mr. and Mrs. Bennett moved to Williamsburg, Franklin co., Kansas, where they continued to make their home. Mr. Bennett died on July 15, 1911. Two weeks ago (on April 18) Mrs. Bennett died at her home in Williamsburg at the age of 67 years, 2 months and 16 days. Six children were born to this union - S. H.
