Four deaths have occurred within the year in the family of Enos D. and Maria Benner. On the 5th of February 1888 Catherine died of catarrhal fever aged 11 months and 10 days. On the 1st of June, Luellen aged 4 years, 6 months and 27 days, and on the 2d Lizzie Maria, aged 6 years, 3 months and 27 days. Both died of diphtheria and were buried together on the 5th of June. On the 18th of June Enos also died of the same disease, aged 2 years, 9 months and 29 days. These children were all buried at the Rockhill Meeting-house near Telford, Bucks Co., Pa., the funeral services on each of these solemn occasions being conducted by Abel Horning and Samuel Detweiler. Sorrowful and yet not without its comforting side. The oldest five children are still left, yet the oldest daughter and the mother are seriously ill of the same diseases.
