BENHAM Ellen G., wife of Edmund C. Benham, at the family residence on Second Prairie, Wednesday morning, August 4th. The deceased was a native of Canada where she was born April 23, 1830.
She has been sick with consumption over a year, confined to her bed most of that time. She has suffered intensely and since early spring her demise would not have been strange at any time. Though she clung to life with great tenacity, gradually she sank lower and lower until last Wednesday morning the death angel relieved her from further suffering.
Mrs. Benham came with her family to the Shell Prairies on the 3rd of June 1880. She was the mother of twelve children, all but two of whom are still living. Her husband together with eight boys and two girls, most of these grown to manhood and womanhood, and all well known residents of the prairies, mourn her loss.
The funeral will take place today at the family residence six miles southwest of town. Rev. Wm. Carter will conduct the services.
Enterprise, August 6, 1886.
