EAST MONA.

Bennie E. Bothum, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Bothum died last Sunday morning August 19, at 8 o'clock, aged twenty-three years and nine months.

He has been in poor health nearly all his life, but last week he was taken very sick and Sunday morning he passed quietly away to a better land.

A large attendance of friends and relatives followed him to his last resting place at the Sunny Side cemetery last Tuesday.

NOTES: It is believed that Pleasant Hill Cem. was once known as Sunny Side Cem. Pleasant Hill's listing on IaGenWeb/Mitchell county shows a "B. Bothun" with no dates. This may be Bennie.
