GREENWICH, CONN., Saturday. — After an illness lasting for more than seven years Mrs. E. C. Benedict wife of Commodore E. C. Benedict, a banker, of New York city, died in her country home, in this city, today.
Many times during the last month Mrs. Benedict's life had been despaired of and for the last week her two daughters, Mrs. Clifford B. Harmon and Mrs. Thomas Hastings, have been constantly at her bedside.
Mrs. Benedict's only son, Frederick H. Benedict, was killed during the fall of 1900 [sic] in an automobile accident at Tuxedo Park. Since that time his mother had been under a physician's care. The Benedict family for many years has been on very friendly terms with President Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Benedict was a near relative of Henry H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil Company.
