John Bennett D.D. of St. Andrew's Church, father of the late Walter Bennett of the staff of the Toronto Telegram, and of George Bennett of Ottawa. 1888, Friday November 16, The Almonte Gazette front page Honouring the Dead The funeral of the late Rev Dr Bennett took place on Friday last at one o'clock p.m. and in spite of the heavy rain that fell a great part of the day and the disagreeable state of the roads, it was very largely attended. The members of Mississippi Lodge No 147, A.F & A.M., G.R.C., and of the A.O.U.W., of both of which societies Dr Bennett was a member, attended in full regalia. After a short service at the manse, followed by the ususal Masonic service, the body was taken to the church, which was filled to the door with a sorrowful congregation composed of all denominations. The following members of the Lanark and Renfrew Presbytery were present: Rev Messrs Myline and Crombie, of Smith's Falls; Rev Mr Ross, of Perth; Revs A.A. Scott and D. McDonald, of Carleton Place; Rev H. Taylor, of Pakenham; Rev D.J. McLean, of Arnprior; and Rev Dr Campbell, of Renfrew. Rev Mr Wilson was to have presided and preached, but owing to sickness in his family he was unable to be present. Rev Mr Myline took his place, and preached a short but very earnest discourse; Rev Mr McDonald read the lesson; Rev Mr McLean offered up a touching prayer; and Rev Dr Campbell pronounced the benediction. Several beautiful floral offerings were laid upon the coffin, notably one sent by the Ladies' Aid Society. At the close of the service all were allowed to take a last look at the remains of the departed. The procession then re-formed and proceeded to the 8th line cemetery. After the usual religious services the impressive Masonic funeral ceremonies were gone through, conducted by the Worshipful Master, W. Bro. Ralph Hill, assisted by the members of Mississippi Lodge. There was a large turnout of country people, considering the state of the roads and the heavy rain that fell at intervals during the whole day. The pall-bearers were Messrs Jas H. Wylie, George Paterson, D. Shaw, James Neilson, William Yuill and Andrew Baird.
