Mrs. Jerry [Janet Hill] Bennett, of Yellowbud, died at the hospital at Circleville yesterday, where she had been taken to have an operation performed. She could not withstand the shock of the operation and succumbed. To add to the sorrow and grief of the husband and four children, the six months' old child of the deceased mother died in the afternoon, of cholera infantum, following its mother in about four hours.
