1919I do not know if Bennett kept a diary for the year 1919. If he did, it has subsequently been lost or destroyed. Perhaps someone in the family still has it packed away somewhere.

December 1919December 13 Bennett's father-in-law, Charles 'Eugene' Clarkson, died at his home in Nothville. His death certificate says his death was due to pernicious aenemia and old age. December 16: Charles 'Eugene' Clarkson was buried at the Oakwood Cemetery, Northville, Wayne Co., Michigan. December 19 The Northville Record ran the following obituary: “AN OLD RESIDENT DIES Charles Eugene Clarkson, one of the oldest residents of this community, died at his home on Wing Street last Saturday afternoon, aged nearly 75 years. He is survived by his wife who has the sympathy of all in her bereavement. Mr. Clarkson served in the Civil war and was a good soldier as well as an honorable and upright citizen. Funeral services were held at the house Tuesday afternoon and interment took place at Oakwood Cemetery”. |
