Benner.--Testen Benner of Thompsontown, Pa., was born in Montgomery Co., Pa., Nov. 9, 1823; died March 27, 1910 aged 86 y. 4 m. 18 d. He was first married to Susannah Winey, to whom were born seven children; of these five survive him--John of Akron, O., Jacob, steward of the Mennonite Home, Lancaster, Pa., Christian, of Lansdale, Pa., Sallie Shelley, of Locust Run, Pa., and Abram of Thompsontown, Pa. After the death of his first wife, he was married to Sarah Ramer, to whom three sons and one daughter were born: David, of Thompsontown, Pa., Susan Graybill, of East Earl, Pa., and Henry, of New Holland, Pa., yet remain. Death was due to the infirmities of old age, which he bore with much patience and cheerfulness. He was a consistent member and a staunch supporter of the Mennonite Church. His place in the Church was seldom vacant. Father in his old age often longed to depart and be at rest. God answered his request and we have the blessed hope that he has gone to the home of the blest. Services at the house by Samuel Leiter and at the M. H. by William Graybill from I Pet. 1:4, 5. Services and burial at the Lost Creek M. H. ------- By a son. Gospel Herald - April 7, 1910 - page 15,16
