chester the rest of her life, coming to 
Manchester in 1859, fourteen years 
after her marriage. She had lived in 
her recent home 39 years. Mrs. Ben- 
nett was the mother of seven children, 
of whom five survive her. She was 
converted quite young in life and was 
baptised into the First Free Baptist 
church of Lowell, of which she con- 
tinued a member with her husband 
until her death. Mrs. Bennett was

ances, she was greatly esteemed by 
all who knew her. She was a woman 
of sterling qualities and will be great- 
ly missed in the home.
