Benson, Aug. 26—The community was shocked Thursday when the death of two of its oldest residents occurred. In the morning, James Morgan dropped dead while working at the park. Heart failure was the cause. He had been feeling poorly for a few days, but was able to be around. While about to speak to a passer-by, he expired. He was well and favorably known in this section where he had resided all his life.
Mrs. J.M. Lawhen, who had been failing for some time, passed away Thursday afternoon. Members of the family were at her bedside when the end came.
