BENTON
Tuesday April 4, 1916, The Winchester
Democrat-Benton/Scobee/Talbott
When the message went out over our city Saturday morning in the dawning
of a glorious day spring day, that an honored and beloved citizen,
Norval T. Benton, had passed away there was sadness. In the prime of a
life which meant a blessing to his home, his friends, his church, he was
suddenly stricken, and not with standing the heroic efforts of his
attending physicians and loved ones, the soul which had struggled to be
free all during the long night of anxious solicitude, winged its flight
to the great beyond and to its eternal reward.
Although Mr. Benton had been complaining for a few days, those who knew
him best had no reason to be apprehensive, he rode down
to his place of Thursday afternoon for awhile and Friday became suddenly
very ill. His death was a great shock.
Mr. Benton was a member of the well known firm of Grubbs & Benton,
having been in business with his partner here for nine years. The
association of these two men was beautiful and Mr. Grubbs is deeply
affected by his loss.
Thirteen years ago Mr. Benton was married to Miss Sallie Scobee, of
Montgomery County, who, with four children, Alexander, Jennie Mary, N.
T. Jr., and Clay, survive. His parents were well known citizens of Clark
but have been dead for a number of years. He was the nephew of Mr. Will
Talbott, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Benton's home was one of love, joy,
and peace. Their union was a perfect one, they were sweethearts, yea
unto the end, when the angel sent from God for his soul was hovering
above the couch, and he look up into the beautiful face of his idolized
wife and said: "Sweetheart, I am going to leave you." With a last
lingering look of affection, he closed his eyes and opened upon the
glories of Heaven land.
Mr. Benton was a consistent Christian. He was an officer in the First
Presbyterian Church, an honorary member of the W.T.C.U., and also a
valued member of the Odd Fellow's Lodge. He was quiet and unobtrusive,
never fond of ostentation, preferring meek servitude for his master. He
was deeply loved and his going way is a distinct loss in the community.
The esteem to which Mr. Benton was held was attested by the great
concourse of sorrowing friends that packed his home and filled his lawn.
At the funeral services Sunday afternoon Dr. Cumming paid a tender
tribute to the life of the deceased and dwelt with emphasis upon the
immortality of the soul and the home in the skies. Masses of exquisite
flowers, testimonials of love covered the casket, where slept calmly and
peacefully this noble man, who through gone, will still live in the
memory of those who knew him.
The services at the grave under the auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge
was beautiful and inspiring. Quite a large number of the W.C.T.U.
members attended the funeral and burial. Many out of town people were
present.
Mrs. Benton and her children have the sympathy and prayers of countless
friends in this hour of sorrow

and dark with a gray streak in front and had dark brown eyes.
