DEATH RECORD
Benjamin Franklin Carnes.
The subject of the sketch, Benjamin Franklin Carnes, was born in Dayton, O., Feb. 15, 1843 [sic] and died Tuesday, May 19, 1896, aged 53 years, 3 months, 4 days. He was married to Miss Harriet Dunham in May, 1856. To them eleven children were born--seven of whom are living and were able to attend the funeral except Mrs. Elizabeth Spiker of Holten [sic], Kan.
Mr. Carnes enjoyed fairly good health for one of his years, although troubled with heart disease from time to time. On Tuesday morning he ate breakfast, apparently well as usual, and went to Miss Mary Dickson's to saw wood and while performing this task, fell dead from heart failure. Parties who saw him fall ran to his assistance, but he was unable to speak to them and breathed his last in a few minutes.
The deceased united with the M. P. church in this city during the protracted meetings held in January and received the ordinance of baptism about ten days before his death. The funeral was held from that church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Prof. J. W. Gray, and the body laid to rest in the LaHarpe cemetery.
