Death
After a continued illness, Tuesday morning, the Death Angel called Mrs. Bennett, sister-in-law to our townsman, B.H. Bennett, from the toils and trials of life. At the time of her death she was an inmate of the Insane Asylum, at Independence. She had been there, we learn, about a year. A cloud had darkened her mental vision, but she has now passed into a land where there is no more darkness, and a realm where the poor are made rich, the weak made strong, and where the oppressor's rod is broken. Her remains will be brought to Oelwein for interment and the funeral services will be held tomorrow (Thursday) morning at the F.B. church in this place. -Wednesday, April 11.
