OBITUARY
Death of a Pioneer -- One by one, and rapidly, the pioneers are passing away. On the 6th of July Mrs. Abigail Benham, wife of Mr. John Benham, of Centerville, in this county, closed her mortal career, at the ripe age of seventy-eight years. About eleven years ago she was struck with the palsy, and during that long period she was confined to her room--an almost helpless invalid. The maiden name of Mrs. Benham was Abigail Nutt. She was born in New Jersey, October 24, 1790. Her parents emigrated to Kentucky, then a wilderness, in 1796, and kept a public house at Dry Ridge.
—In 1800 they removed to Centerville, Ohio, and there, at the age of fourteen years, Abigail married John Benham. Her wedded life thus continued during a period of sixty-four years. She was the mother of fifteen children, now living. Her grand children number seventy-two; great grand-children, forty-one; great great grand, one. Her funeral took place on the 7th of July. The sermon on the occasion was preached by a member of the Society of Friends, her parents having been members of that denomination.
