Ann Rebecca Hemenway
Cause of her death was diabetes. General Notes: Mary Moore O'Connor recalls the day of her grandmother Ann Bennett's funeral. It was raining very hard and she and her brother were sent to school; small children did not attend funerals. She remembers her father John Moore coming to school with horse and wagon to pick up her brother Ivan and herself and bring them to the Bennett Cottage where the family had gathered after the services. She remembers that all of the relatives seemed to be dividing up the household goods. Seeing that everyone was choosing something she spoke up and said she would like her grandmother's stool. It was a small 4 legged wooden stool made by Jeptha for Ann as she was a short woman and the kitchen had ceiling- high cupboards that she could not reach without it. Amazed at her audacity but somewhat chagrined a family member said "It's the only thing she has asked for. Let her have it." and so she went home that day with Ann's wooden stool and I (Jane O'Connor Foster) still have it to this day. Ann married Jeptha Mahlon Bennett, son of Royal Zebulon Bennett and Nancy Alvira Duncklee, on 30 Aug 1874 in Unknown. (Jeptha Mahlon Bennett was born on 11 Nov 1853 in Horicon, Warren County, New York, died on 11 Aug 1918 and was buried in Brant Lake Cemetery in Horicon, New York.). The cause of his death was nephritis. |
