DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT

Mrs. Guy W. Sweet, formerly Marie Grub, granddaughter of Mrs. Charles Benjamin, who lived here a number of years ago but moved to Pomona, Calif., where they now reside, died Dec. 18, of influenza. Merl Benjamin, from whom we received the sad news, stated that his mother was very low with influenza and the doctor told him there wasn’t any hope for her recovery, but no further word has been received. Mrs. Charles Benjamin is a sister-in-law of Mrs. Ida Benjamn, of this city. Merl was also sick with influenza, but was able to be about part of the time.
