"This document would have been lost except the old, old DAR ladies copied & saved this document."

Departed this life in Harford County, in Maryland on the 26th day of the 2nd month, 1814, in the 97th year of his age, William Amos, a much revered member of the Society of Friends, and seventy-six (76) years a minister thereof. It was in the early part of his life, while exercising the functions of an officer in the militia, that it was revealed to him that the Kingdom of Christ was a "peaceful kingdom." Therefore conferring not with flesh and blood, he was obedient to the Heavenly vision, resigned his commission and united himself in religious fellowship with the Society of Friends, hath ever since continued his exertions, successfully we believe, both by precepts and example, to turn men to righteousness. His own life was indeed an exemplification of meekness, piety, resignation, benevolence and charity. He was a great promoter of peace and justice, and was frequently called on by his fellow citizens to perform the Christian duty of mediator, and he had the satisfaction to find that his exertions to restore harmony were very generally crowned with success. In the year 1806 as many of his descendants as could be conveniently notified, were convened, at his particular request. In Friends Meeting House on Lombard Street in Baltimore, to the number of about one hundred and fifty, when he very pathetically and affectionately addressed them on the subject of their everlasting welfare. One of his great-great-grandchildren was present on this occasion. This venerable patriarch was the father of numerous progeny, amounting it is believed to nearly 300. The following is a correct return of them so far as hath been ascertained: -- children-16; grand-children, 92; great-grand-children, 133; great-great-grand-children, 8. Total, 250.

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES

NORVAL T. BENTON, POPULAR MERCHANT PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY

When the message went out over our city Saturday morning in the dawning of a glorious day spring day, that an honored and beloved citizen, Norval T. Benton, had passed away there was sadness. In the prime of a life which meant a blessing to his home, his friends, his church, he was suddenly stricken, and not with standing the heroic efforts of his attending physicians and loved ones, the soul which had struggled to be free all during the long night of anxious solicitude, winged its flight to the great beyond and to its eternal reward.

Although Mr. Benton had been complaining for a few days, those who knew him best had no reason to be apprehensive, he rode down to his place of Thursday afternoon for awhile and Friday became suddenly very ill. His death was a great shock.

Mr. Benton was a member of the well known firm of Grubbs & Benton, having been in business with his partner here for nine years. The association of these two men was beautiful and Mr. Grubbs is deeply affected by his loss.

Thirteen years ago Mr. Benton was married to Miss Sallie Scobee, of Montgomery County, who, with four children, Alexander, Jennie Mary, N. T. Jr., and Clay, survive. His parents were well known citizens of Clark but have been dead for a number of years. He was the nephew of Mr. Will Talbott, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Benton's home was one of love, joy, and peace. Their union was a perfect one, they were sweethearts, yea unto the end, when the angel sent from God for his soul was hovering above the couch, and he look up into the beautiful face of his idolized wife and said: "Sweetheart, I am going to leave you." With a last lingering look of affection, he closed his eyes and opened upon the glories of Heaven land.

Mr. Benton was a consistent Christian. He was an officer in the First Presbyterian Church, an honorary member of the W.T.C.U., and also a valued member of the Odd Fellow's Lodge. He was quiet and unobtrusive, never fond of ostentation, preferring meek servitude for his master. He was deeply loved and his going way is a distinct loss in the community.

The esteem to which Mr. Benton was held was attested by the great concourse of sorrowing friends that packed his home and filled his lawn. At the funeral services Sunday afternoon Dr. Cumming paid a tender tribute to the life of the deceased and dwelt with emphasis upon the immortality of the soul and the home in the skies. Masses of exquisite flowers, testimonials of love covered the casket, where slept calmly and peacefully this noble man, who through gone, will still live in the memory of those who knew him.

The services at the grave under the auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge was beautiful and inspiring. Quite a large number of the W.C.T.U. members attended the funeral and burial. Many out of town people were present.

Mrs. Benton and her children have the sympathy and prayers of countless friends in this hour of sorrow

By the death of Daniel Crutchfield, 55 years old, in the Good Samaritan Hospital Sunday afternoon. local authorities are confronted with a mystery as no one seems to be able to to tell where his home was and little about him. He came to the hospital about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of March 11 and gave his name as Daniel Crutchfield; gave his father's name as David Crutchfield and his address as 76 Clay Avenue; but investigation showed there was no such address and efforts have been made to locate David Crutchfield.

He was attended while in the hospital by Dr. W.S. Wyatt who said Sunday he was practically totally paralyzed on one side and could only speak in monosyllables. The doctor said he appeared to be a man who had done considerable labor. He was 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighed about 175 pounds and had the appearance of being in basic good health. His hair was scanty and dark with a gray streak in front and had dark brown eyes.

Authorities reported Sunday night that a man who had the bed next to him had said that Crutchfield has a sister in the city and that he was sometimes known as " Jim Crutcher" and that he had sold watermelons with him.

Hold Inquest into Shooting: Coroner's Jury Gives Verdict Stating William Bonta Killed William Darrell in Self-Defense

A coroner's jury held Friday afternoon stated that William Darrell killed in a postol duel near Little Rock Thursday night, came to his death by a ".22 calibre pistol in the hands of William Bonta, through Bonta's necessary self defense." Bonta remains in a serious condition at Massie Memorial hospital from a bullet wound received in the fight.

Darrell with three other men had started into the Bonta farm to hunt coons when Bonta asked the men to leave the place, because the dogs were bothering his sheep, witnesses to the shooting said. Witnesses to the shooting were Ben Workman, Ray Workman and Joe Gregory, all of Nicholas county.

During the inquest Friday, Ben Workman stated that the four men started into the farm when Bonta called to Willie Ray Darrell, the dead man's son, and told him to get off the place and take the dogs. Workman called to Bonta and told him that Willie Ray Darrell was not present, it was his father. Workman stated that the next conversation was by Darrell, who said that he was not afraid of Bonta, and Bonta replied to Darrell, "I am not afraid of you."

Both Started Firing

Workman stated that when Bonta approached the four men he was carrying a pistol in his hand with the muzzle toward the ground. Bonta told Darrell not to draw a gun, when Darrell reached to his hip pocket for a gun. Workman said that he did not know which man shot first, that it seemed to him both began firing at the same time. Workman stated, when questioned, that to his knowledge the two men were on friendly terms. Bonta, it was stated, had previously told Darrell's son to keep off the farm with his dogs. When questioned by Virgil Gaitskill, acting county attorney, Workman stated that he saw no sheep in the field.

Ray workman, son of the first witness, testified next and then Joe Gregory, nephew of Workman's, took the stand.

Deputy Coroner Fred Link, who went to the scene of the shooting with Coroner Roxie Davis, was called to the stand and described the pistol carried by Bonta. He stated that there were five empty chambers in the gun. Darrel's gun was a .32 calibre with three empty chambers. Coroner Davis testified that Darrell was dead when he and Link arrived.

Doctor Gives Testimony

Dr. B. F. Reynolds, Carlisle, was called to report his examination of the body, which was removed to a Carlisle undertaking establishment. He stated that one shot went through both chambers of Darrell's heart, other bullets struck his arm, chest, liver and there was a flesh wound on the back of his thigh.

Game Warden W.O. Pennington arrested Ben Workman on a charge of hunting coons out of season at the conclusion of the inquest.

Members of the coroner's jury were Elmer R. Wallace, foreman; J.M. Scott, Robert Frank, S.F. Hinkle, Winn Hutchcraft and Charles May.

Darrell is survived by his wife, a son, Willie Ray Darrell, Nicholas county, and a daughter, Miss Lillie May Darrell, Lexington. Bonta is unmarried.

Distinguished Jurist, Lawyer and Citizen Succumbs to Pneumonia at Paris Home

Death, loving a shining mark, aimed high yesterday morning, and brought down to the approaches to eternity the soul of Robert C. Talbott, aged sixty-eight, dean of the Bourbon County bar and one of its most intellectual and forceful members. Mr. Talbott died at the family home on Duncan avenue at 11:15 o'clock yesterday morning after an illness of pneumonia. Mr. Talbott had been in good health apparently up to a few days ago, when he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, defying all efforts of medical skill and loving attention.

Robert C. Talbott was a native of Bourbon county, being born near North Middletown, on August 2, 1862. He was a son of the late Samuel and Ann McMillan Talbott, pioneer citizens of that vicinity. He received his early education in the schools of his day, in North Middletown and Paris later on. After the death of his father he made his home with his maternal grandfather, Robert McMillan, in Franklin county, and spent some time in the schools of Franklin county. Returning to Bourbon county he continued his studies at the Edgar Military Institute, conducted by Col. Geo. Edgar. Finishing there he matriculated as a student at Transylvania College, in Lexington, and graduated with high honors in the class of 1883.

Takes Up Study of Law

Coming back to Paris again he entered the law office of his uncle, Hon Wm. H. McMillan, and read law earnestly and effectively. He was admitted to the bar the following year, in 1884, and at once took high rank as a student of law and as having a profound knowledge, even at that age, of the law and its many sided ramifications. On his twenty-first birthday he was elected to the office of Superintendent of Bourbon County Schools, which he filled with credit and ability for a term of four years. He was reelected for another four-year term after the expiration of which he devoted his entire time to the practice of law in which he became eminently successful.

For a period of twenty-five years Mr. Talbott was associated with his uncle, Wm. H. McMillan, in law practice, under the firm name of McMillan & Talbott. In that time he participated as counsel in all the most noted cases that came to the Bourbon county courts. During this period Mr. Talbott established an enviable record as one of the foremost lawyers in the State. In later years he won new laurels in the field of legal practice as a member of the two firms of Talbott & Whitley, of Paris and Franklin, Talbott & Chapman, of Lexington. He was of the highest type of lawyer, commanding the confidence and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. He was a lover of literature, and one whose intellectual attainments were of the highest order.

On June 5, 1888, Mr. Talbott was married to Miss Sallie Grimes of Paris, who preceded him to the grave in 1914. He is survived by their five children, Mrs. Wade Hampton Whitley, Mrs. Virgil M. Chapman, Mrs. Virgil Gaitskill, Mrs. George Clayton, and Robert C. Talbott, Jr., all of Bourbon county, and by one brother, Wm. F. Talbott of near Paris, and by two nieces and one nephew.
