To man, woman or child, saint or sinner, he always extended a cordial greeting that lent a ray of light to brighten their pathway in the journey of life. He commanded the respect of all classes of people, as the attendance at his funeral fully verified. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church with Rev. P. F. Harmon officiating and interment made in Verden cemetery. Uncle Ben reared his family in this community and had many friends here. He was 78 years of age.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Harman and the remains of this precious treasure were tenderly laid to rest on the hill south of town Sleep on in thy beauty Thou sweet angel child, By sorrow unblighted By sin undefiled. Like the bird of the ark Thou hast flown to thy rest From this wild sea of strife, But laden with golden wheat. |
