Miss Jessie M. Bennett, 76, died Saturday night at the residence of her niece, Mrs. Robert Wick, where she had made her home the past few years, after a long illness. She had been in failing health for four years and the last year and a half was seriously ill.

Miss Bennett was born September 4, 1866, at Waukegan, Ill. In younger days she was a frequent visitor in Le Mars with his sister, the late Mr. T. A. Bray.

She is survived by a sister, Mrs. C. A. Williams of Pittsburg, Pa., and a large number of nephews and nieces.

She was preceded in death by three sisters and one brother.

The body was taken to the Mauer funeral home for shipment to Waukegan, where the funeral will be held Wednesday.
