MARY PHAGAN'S GRANDMOTHER
DIES OF GRIEF IN ATLANTA
Mrs. Anna Benton, mother of Mr.
Thomas Benton, and grandmother of
little Mary Phagan, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Coleman
in Atlanta last Sunday night. Her
body was brought to Marietta Mon
day afternoon and taken to the home
of her son on Roswell street to await
the funeral services Tuesday.
The funeral and interment took
place Tuerday morning at Sardis and
was conducted by Rev. J. J. Crow.
The following account of Mrs.
Benton’'s death is taken from the At

J. W. Coleman, of 704 Ashby street.
On the second day of the trial grief
and incessant worry over the death
of her granddaughter carried Mrs.
Benton to her bed, from which she
was never able to rise,
“During her illness she talked al
ways of Mary and asked eagerly for
any word concerning the trial. On
Saturday night Mrs. Benton dreamed
that her little dead granddaughter
was living again and was in the room
with her. Under that delusion she
wakened Sunday morning with words
of endearment for the child upon her
lips, only to remember once more the
bitterness of a broken dream.
‘‘She told her daughter, Mrs. Cole
man, what she had dreamed, and de
scribed vividly to her the appearance
of little Mary as she had seen her in
“her sleep.
“ ‘My mother’s eyes were bright

of their brightness 1 was sure that

she was better,.
* ‘After my mother became con
fined to her bed, her one hope and
prayer was that she might be spared
until the end of the trial. She is
with Mary now, though, and I am
sure must be far happier than if
she were still here.’

Her health had never been good since
the day she heard of Mary Phagan’s
tragic end when she was prostrated
from grief and unable to attend her
granddaughters funeral. T
