In this city, Aug. 24, 1905, Morris Bennett, husband of Mary Bennett (nee Mullin) and father of James G., David S., Maurice E., May R. and Loretta A. Bennett and Mrs. James Furlong. The sudden death of Mr. Bennett was a shock not alone to his family, but to the entire city, where he had friends in every quarter. This was evidenced by the attendance at his funeral from the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which was crowded almost to its capacity, and by the long line of carriages, which followed the remains to Holy Cross cemetery. Solemn mass of requiem was celebrated by the Rector, Rev. R.C. O'Connell, assisted by Father Blakeney and Father Cyril, O.F.M. Father O'Connell took as his text, "Be ye always ready, for in the hour you least expect, the Son of Man shall come." Father O'Connell paid a generous and well-deserved tribute to the memory of Mr. Bennett. He spoke of him as a practical Catholic, one who was ever seen in his place at the late mass on Sundays. He was a benefactor of the church from the time of its organization, one who spared not time, strength nor means in the furtherance of all that made for the improvement and advancement of the church. It had been just the same in his old parish of St. Bridget. He was one of its pillars, too. Mr. Bennett spent the great part of his long and useful life between the two parishes. God blessed him with an abundance of the world's goods, and his sterling qualities of industry and sobriety formed a character that could always be relied upon. The remembrance of these qualities and many others should be a precious heritage to his family, who have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
