    • HURT, Benjamin W. "Bennie"
      b: Aug 9 1896, Henry Co, MO

      bur: Englewood Cemetery HI-HY, Clinton, Clinton Twp, Henry Co, MO
      Clinton MO - Bennie, the sixteen year old son of Benjamin Hurt, of the furniture firm of Sims & Hurt, ended his own life Thursday morning. The lad had been despondent for several days and, after finishing his breakfast, and attending to his morning duties at the store, he went to the storage room and fired a bullet into his brain with a .22 rifle. His father and Mr. Sims heard the shot and, rushing up the stairs, found the lad. The boy was taken immediately to the office of Dr. McNees, where the bullet was probed for in vain. He was removed to his home, where he died at 1:15.
