Benefield - Lucille
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 22 September 1899
Sorrow has again been in our midst and this time death has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Benefield and taken away their only child and daughter. Lucille was only nine months old, but was at the age when father and mother will miss her sweet face in their home, but God has said: “Suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven,” and surely this little one has a home there. Funeral services were conducted at the house Sunday evening by Rev. John Shanklin, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Linden Cemetery, east of town. -s
