BENSON, Rosetta Benson Johns Hayward (SRGP 08829)
END OF HONORABLE CAREER LONG RESIDENT OF RUTLAND
The community was saddened last week to learn of the death of Mrs. Rosetta Hayward, of this boro, which occurred Tuesday evening, February 22, 1927, at 8:30 o’clock, at her home on Wilson avenue. She was born in Rutland township on December 27, 1849. Her parents were Otis and Matilda Benson. She was married to Sanford Johns, deceased, many years ago. And to this union were born two daughters, Ella, deceased in early children, and Mrs. Theresa Johns Gould, at home. Her entire life was spent in and about Rutland township and Mansfield boro. Mrs. Hayward was loved by all who knew her, thru her suffering, her presence full of sunshine and cheer, she will be missed by all who knew her, and to the loved ones at home who have cared for her so lovingly all through the weeks of her illness. She leaves to mourn her loss, a daughter, Mrs. Theresa Gould, one granddaughter, Mrs. Armina Boyce, and one great grandson; two brothers, Lyman C. Benson, of Roseville, and Otis J. Benson, of Millerton. We cannot utter words of praise too great in behalf of the departed. We can truthfully say of her that she was a woman who possessed many noble traits of character. She was kind and charitable, a faithful wife, a loving and dutiful mother, a good true neighbor. Her constant aim in life was to live the life of a Christian. Many can testify to the many acts of kindness she has done for them. She will be missed by many of us who have learned to love her next to a mother, and may we try to imitate her good example and heed the good advice given by her. The funeral was held Saturday, February 26, from the M. E. Church in Roseville, though she was long an active and earnest member of the Bailey Creek church. Rev. H. G. Stearns, of Mansfield, officiated, who chose as his text II Timothy, 4-7. The floral tributes expressed beautifully the high regard in which Mrs. Hayward was held. The flowers were without equal, both as to numbers and beauty. She was tenderly born to the last resting place in Watson cemetery by her nephews, Messrs. Merritt Cook, Minor Cook, Charles Benson, Halsey Benson, Norman Benson, George Benson..

Patiently she bore her suffering,
Thanking God for blessings given;
And we know that she is resting
Where no earthly ties are riven.
Day by day she faded from us,
And all earthly help seemed vain;
So we left it all with Jesus,
For He cares for every pain.

But we would not by our sighing
Bring her back to life and pain;
For we know that in our losing,
It is her eternal gain.

HAYWARD, MRS. ROSETTE BENSON (SRGP 8829)
