Mr. John W. Benson Summoned By Death.
Following a period of ill health extending over several years, Mr. John W. Benson, about 60 years of age, died at his home near Lamar's Mill Saturday afternoon. He suffered from a complication of diseases and death was not unexpected.
Mr. Benson was a well known citizen of the county and was held in general high esteem. Recently Mr. Benson had been residing at Gladesville in Jasper county, but a few weeks ago moved back to Butts county. He was a mason and highly regarded as a member of this craft.
Mr. Benson is survived by his wife, who was a Miss Grant before her marriage; one son, Mr. Joe W. Benson; two daughters, Mrs. Tommie Rape and Mrs. Sam Rape, of Henry county; a brother, Mr. M. A. Benson, and a sister, Mrs. W. J. Garr.
The funeral was held at Worthville Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. W. J. Waits being in charge of the services. He was buried with Masonic honors, members of Stark and Worthville lodges taking part in the services at the grave.
