Red Bank Register - 27 Feb. 1907, Page 9
Corlies G. Bennett, one of the oldest residents of Eatontown, died last Friday night of pneumonia. About a week
before his death Mr. Bennett attended a funeral at Long Branch and caught cold. He paid no attention to his sickness
and continued doing work on his farm until his condition became serious. Pneumonia developed three days before
his death and he sank rapidly.
Mr. Bennett was 81 years old and was a son of the late William Bennett, He was born on the farm adjoining the one
where he died and he had always lived at Eatontown. At the time of his death he owned both of these farms, having
bought the place where he died shortly after his father's death. He had always been engaged in farming and despite
his advanced years he did most of the work on his farm until his last sickness. He married June B. Wolcott, daughter
of the late Benjamin Wolcott of Eatontown, She died nearly three years ago at the age of 78 years.
Mr. Bennett was a member of the Eatontown township commissioners of appeals for a great many years. He
was respected by all who knew him for his square business dealings. He leaves two children, Bloomfleld Bennett and Miss Phoebe Bennett, both of whom live at home, and a sister, Mrs, Harry E. Gill of Red Bank.
The funeral was held at the house on Monday afternoon, Mr. Bennett attended the Quaker meeting house at Shrewsbury and the body was buried in the meeting house graveyard.
