"Death of Mrs. Sarah Bennett. Died, at the home of her son, William Bennett, in the town of Dodgeville, Feb. 17, 1898, of jaundice, Mrs. Sarah Bennett 'nee' Tyrer, aged 76 years, 8 months and 22 days. Deceased was born in Erie County, NY, May 25, 1821, and came to Dodgeville in 1845. She was married to Michael Bennett Oct. 30, 1845, and to them were born four children, of whom two survive, being William Bennett, a son with whom she had been living for the past two years since the death of her husband; the remaining child being a daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Thomas, who lives in California, and also a granddaughter, Mrs. Llewellyn Dunn, of Mineral Point."
"From her early days Mrs. Bennett had been religiously inclined, and before coming to Dodgeville she had united with the M. E. church and was transferred by letter to this charge where she continued a member until called to depart this life. Though never very expressive in her religious feelings and views, yet she "believed God" and rejoiced in the salvation of the Gospel."
"For some time she had been apprehensive that her affliction would prove fatal, but she had no fear of death or the future; she trusted in God and was not confounded. We have every reason to believe that she has reached that "fair and happy land" where the inhabitants never say "I am sick" and where sorrow and sighing have fled away."
"The funeral took place last Saturday afternoon from the residence of her son, the services being conducted by Rev. Wm. Atkinson, pastor of the M. E. church of this city, who made a brief and comforting address to the relatives and sorrowing friends, the substance of which is contained in the foregoing obituary. The remains were brought to the Dodgeville cemetery and laid to rest beside those of her deceased husband."
