Death of Benjamin F. Townsend
After a brief illness of grip and pneumonia Mr. Benjamin F. Townsend died at his late residence, near Bridgetown, on Tuesday evening last, aged about forty-four years. He has, except at intervals of a few years, when he carried on the butchering business in Cambridge and elsewhere, resided in Caroline county. He was formerly of ripe physique, enjoying the best of health. For some months, how ever, he had not been robust. The announcement of his untimely death was a great surprise. Mr. Townsend leaves a widow, who is a daughter of Mr. John W. Clark, Tuckahoe Neck, and six children, one of whom, Mr. Walter Townsend, is grown. Interment took place at Denton cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, where many bereaved relatives and friends gathered to pay their last respects to the departed. Rev R. L. Lewis officiated.
