Bennett were held at 12:30 p. m., Saturday, November 7th, at the residence of Mr. D.R. Cox. Rev. J. B. Pruitt officiated; mentioning the chief characteristics of this young man, and fittingly expressed the grief of his many friends. The body was escorted from there to the Seaboard depot by the Bloxham Rifles, the Woodmen of the World, the Volunteer Fire Department and a host of his friends, who were not members of these organizations. His father, Mr. T. R. Bennett, and Mr. D. R. Cox, his uncle, accompanied the body to his old home, LaCrosse, Fla. The pallbearers were: Messrs. W. S. McLin, P. G. Russell, G. E. Lewis, H. Owens, R. Gramling and A.C. McDoug- all. John was born September 27th, 1886, in LaCrosse, Fla., where he spent his childhood and youth. He moved to Tal- lahassee about four years ago, and has been steadily employed here since then. In young people's organizations John was always ready, and frequently a promoter. He was a member of the Baptist Church and B. Y. P. U. He has been a hard-working Volunteer Fireman for three years. He was one of the first to promote the organization of the local military company, "The Bloxham Rifles, Co. C, 1st Florida Infantry, in which he was soon promoted from ranks to corporal. He was also a member of the W.O.W. His services as a fireman will be greatly missed, for he was always one of the first to a fire, and constantly working the whole time. His record as a fireman is with the best of the com- pany, it stands second to one only. In the recent revival held here by the Culpeppers, John was an earnest work- er. After the first week, he could be seen nightly entering the church with a number of friends, whom he had influ- enced to attend the meetings; then af- ter getting them seated, he would take his seat in the choir, where he, with his comrades, would sing praises to their Maker. Tallahassee has lost one of its best young men, the cream of her future citi- zenship, a soldier, a fireman, and a true Christian gentleman. The sympathy of all goes out to his bereaved loved ones. A FRIEND.
