suddenly saddened by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Bennett, who,
after an illness of four weeks, was called to her rest.

In 1867, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett gave up their work in a pleasant Northern
parish, and came to Fisk University, where they have labored together
for almost twenty-two years. During these years, Mrs. Bennett has been
not only an efficient helper to her husband and a wise and tender mother
to her children, but has contributed much to the work of the school. Her
strong mind and fine intellectual tastes especially fitted her for life
in an institution of learning. During the last few years, she gave much
time and labor to the preparation of a botanical collection for the
Scientific Department of the University.

Mrs. Bennett was also the warm personal friend of the young people.
Since her death, many tender expressions from present and former
students bear witness to appreciation of her quiet, earnest, Christian
character, as manifested both in her own life, and in her ministry to
others. Why such a life, apparently so indispensable to her husband and
children, and so helpful to a large body of young people, should be thus
suddenly terminated we cannot understand. We can only accept the
dispensation of Him "Who doeth all things well."
