"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 58, No 52, p 831, Dec. 29, 1902.
Lorenda Hall Benjamin was born in Alfred, N. Y., May 26, 1824, and died of old age and a general giving way of the vital powers at the home of her daughter at Petrolia, Dec. 16, 1902.
She was the daughter of Russell and Waity Crandall Hall. At the age of 17 she was married to David Benjamin, and to them were born six children, five of whom are living. She was converted early in life, and joined the M. E. church on probation. It was not until after her marriage, however, that she became a full member. Rider Rouse Babcock, of Scio, hearing that she desired to be immersed, performed the ordinance for her. Afterward, she and her husband became convinced that the Seventh-day was the Sabbath, and joined the First Alfred church, of which they remained members throughout life. Twelve years ago, two years before Mr. Benjamin's death, they celebrated their golden wedding, with all the children present. There are five grandchildren. Six or seven years ago she moved to Scio, where, with her son Alfred she has since lived. That home, founded nearly sixty-two years ago, was one of the strong pioneer type, from which this generation has much to learn. The father and mother were both earnest Christians, and religion was a vital thing in the home. The mother and the children were all singers and much enjoyed the old hymns. She leaves a rich legacy of spiritual things to those who come after her. Services at Scio Dec. 18, 1902. Text, 1 Cor. 13: 8.
