Bio
Cassville Republican ~ Thurs., Feb. 6, 1919 Miss Fredelene Bennington returned to Springfield Friday to assume her studies in the Springfield Business College. She had been at home for two weeks on account of the illness of her mother, Mrs. F. W. Bennington. Cassville Republican ~ Thurs., Feb. 27, 1919 Mittie E. Bennington passed to her eternal home Friday morning at 6:50 o'clock, February 21, at the Springfield hospital, at the age of 39 years, 3 months and 29 days. She was taken to Springfield for an X-ray examination Thursday February 6. The operation was performed Monday, February 10 for adhesion of the stomach and intestines, a gall stone also being removed. For one week after the operation she appeared to do well. A change for the worse came on Monday of last week and she gradually grew weaker until Friday morning when in peaceful abeyance her soul answered the call for the Great Master and she passed into rest. Mrs. Bennington was born and lived her entire life in this county, most of it in this immediate community. She was married to Fred W. Bennington on December 3, 1899. To them two daughters were born, one of whom died in infancy. She leaves a husband, a daughter, Miss Fredelene, who was in the Springfield business college at the time of her mother's death, two sisters, Mrs. Alice Butler of Tulsa, Okla., and Miss Ora Burks, and a brother, Oley Burks of this city. For seventeen years she had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and was one of its devoted members. In church, Sunday school and the women's organizations of the church she was a faithful and tireless worker. A true, faithful, tranquil minded Christian mother, wife, friend and neighbor, devoted to the highest ideals of life's responsibilities, is the monument she leaves behind. The body reached Cassville from Springfield at noon Saturday. The funeral service was held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Lawrence Orr of Springfield, pastor of the M. E. Church South in this city. Many lovely floral offerings were sent to the home and a large crowd assembled at the church to pay their last tribute of respect. Interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
