EUGENE BENN

Relatives and old friends in Nevada are advised of the death of Eugene Benn, which occurred this week at Camden, New Jersey. Mr. Benn was a music dealer here in the '80s but removed probably all of twenty-five years ago to Minnesota, where he resided until about seven years ago, when he removed to New Jersey. He and his family visited here on their way from Minnesota to New Jersey, which visit, we think, was his only one her after his removal from Nevada. Mr. Benn was a man much liked and quite active in affairs while he lived here, and old acquaintances remember him most kindly. He leaves his wife and one married daughter and her family. Mrs. Benn has had two sisters here, the late Mrs. R. B. Tooker and Mrs. J. B. Rushmore, and it was with the Tooker and Rushmore families that the Benns were associated in the minds of old timers.
