The late Mr. Bensley, who was 70 years of age, had given no indication of any indisposition and his sudden passing came as a shock to his relatives and neighbours.

It was in this church where the last service was conducted by the Rev. A. G. Henderson who also attended at the graveside at the Crookwell cemetery where interment took place.

Two brothers, Messrs. Torry Bensley, of Camden, and Mr. Fred. Bensley, of Crookwell; and three sisters, Mrs. Fred. Hart (Crookwell), Mrs. W. Price (Crookwell) and Mrs. H. Rumble (Woonona) survive.

Messrs. T: E. Kennedv & Son had charge of the funeral arrangements.
