Omaha Daily Bee, March 3, 1895, Page 8:
After an illness of several weeks, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, surrounded by friends and relatives, ex-Sheriff George A. Bennett died at his residence, 920 North Twenty-sixth street in this city.
Some months ago Mr. Bennett contracted a very severe cold, which later on developed into lung trouble. From this affliction Mr. Bennett partially recovered and went to Hot Springs, Ark., hoping that the change would fully restore his health. While there he was taken down with liver trouble, and not finding any relief he returned home and gave up all hope of recovery. From the time of his return until his death he failed very rapidly. Three weeks ago he was compelled to go to his bed.
The funeral will be held from the family residence next Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The interment will be at Forest Lawn cemetery.
The family left to mourn the death of George A. Bennett consists of a wife, his parents and several brothers.
George A. Bennett was born at Wolfe Island, Ont., January 27, 1856. His earlier education was obtained at that place where his parents lived until he was 16. The family then moved to Bruxton, Ont., and about a year after George left home and went to Plymouth, Mich., where he remained for four years, during which he finished learning the horseshoer's trade. He came to Omaha in 1878, and with the exception of a few months spent in Lincoln soon after, he has been a citizen of this city ever since. He worked at his trade as a journeyman until 1883, when he went into business on his own account, and left it when he was elected sheriff in the fall of 1891.
