Mr. Bennett had been in poor health however, for some months, suffering from ulcers of the stomach, and had been treated in recent weeks at the hospital in Oskaloosa, at which time there was grave concern relative to his condition. He recovered to all outward appearances and had been making his daily trips down town until Sunday, November 8, when he was confined to his bed.

Mr. Bennett united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in early life while a resident of Hedrick. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Order of the Easter Star.
