Bloom, Mrs. Peter Hoffman, Joe and James at home, and Charles, who lives on the old homestead west of Delmar. Also one brother, James in town, and one sister, Mrs. Coughlin of Urbana, Ohio. Mr. Bennis was a thrifty straightforward man--possessed of sterling qualities and respected by those who knew him. Funeral services will be held at St. Patrick's church at 9:30 Friday morning, Rev. Father O'Riley officiating. Interment in St. Patrick's cemetery, Delmar.
