ED BENNETT LAID TO REST
The funeral services of Ed Bennett who died in St. Louis Friday of last week were held in the Congregational church Monday afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. D. Todd, pastor of the church, under the auspices of the American Legion, who gave him a military funeral. The remains arrived Sunday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Bennett, and were met at the depot by members of the Legion, who took them to the family home.
The attendance at the funeral services was one of the largest at any funeral ever held in Longton, if not the largest, and the casket lay buried, as it were, in a bowery of flowers.
The deceased was a World War soldier, having served in C. Co. 2d Military Police Battalion, twenty months, fourteen of which was in overseas service. It was in this service that he contracted the disease that caused his death, for he had hardly known a well day since returning home.
Eddie Lewis Bennett was born February 14, 1892, at Culver, Kansas, and died November 14th, 1924, aged 32 years and 9 months.
When but four years of age he moved with the family to Elk county, his father settling northeast of Longton, and he has lived in this vicinity since that time.
March 3rd, 1910, he was married to Miss Sarah Harper, who, with one child, survives him. Besides these, he leaves a mother and five brothers.
Ed Bennett had won the respect of an unusually large number of friends, and no building in the city was large enough to accomodate those who desired to pay to him by their presence at his funeral obsequies, their last respect, and to show their sympathy for the bereaved family.
