Fidele Bennett died November 29, 1883. He was born in Baden, 1804, and was therefore 79 years old at the time of his death. He emigrated to America and arrived in Cincinnati in 1831, and removed to Ripley county two years later, locating upon the farm where he spent the remainder of his life which extended over a period of 50 years. His life was gently, his death was peaceable and his reward, we hope, will be great. He was frugal and industrious without being a slave to labor or a miser to money. His earnings were applied to the uses and improvements of his family, helping his children as far as he was able upon the journey of life, and they have lived and prospered to call him blessed. His family was large and he trained it in a way it should go and lived to see his teachings crown the majesty of their man and womanhood. He died in the faith and rites of the Catholic church, of which he was a zealous and exemplary member, and was buried int he St. Nicholas Cemetery amid a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
