Death of ORIN BENJAMIN

Orin Benjamin of Timberlake, S. D., son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Benjamin of this place, died Thursday evening, July 15th, at the hospital at Mobridge, S.D., at the age of 41 years. At this time, no particulars concerning his death are known, except that he took seriously ill last Monday, and sent for his parents.

Mr. Benjamin for a number of years, lived with his parents on their farm six miles west of town. In 1910 he left for Timberlake, where he lived on a farm and in November, 1918, he married a lady of that town, who with two step-children, mourn his death. Besides these, he leaves to mourn, a sister, Mrs. G. E. McCorkle and a brother, David, both of Jackson township; and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Benjamin.

The many friends of the Benjamin family sympathize with them over the loss of their son and brother.
