David Niles Bentley of this city died last right at the age of ninety nine years at his residence on West Main street. He was born in North Stonington Jul- 7th, 1785, and - was the third .son o Ezekiel Bentley of that place. He was “bound out” in the sprine of 1800 as a apprentice to Barzillin Davison of No:- fich, to learn the trade of goldsmith, Soor jafter he was converted at a Mejhodist meeting held by the eccentric Lorenzo Don, who after vividly describing th condition and feelings of a sinner under conviction of sin, placed ds hand upx young Bentley's head and ®aid “Youm: man, that is the truth. You can’t de- Ty it” He was greatly affected by thi incident and was converted in conse- quence of it. Rejoicing in his naw faith e gained a day by overwork to go tc North Stonington to tell his parents of' his conversion, He walked eighteen miles and gathered the family together in prayer. He preached his. first sermo: &t North Stonington at the age of fifteen Hsewv.a,s baptised in the Yantic Cove ir He began Dusiness &s 2 brass founder and mlumber in Norwich in 1805 and | proved successful in his venture.

He wias A man of strong opinions and alwavs gave free expression to his thoughts where he thought the well being of his fellow men was involved. He was bright and active until a year or two ago, when he began to fail. At 93 he could write a good clear hand and compose as well as at 50. For two years he has been grad- ually failing; but he has been confined to h's bed only three weeks. He was the father of George W. Bentley of the Jack- sonville, Tanipa Bay and Key West rail- road, of Rey. L. D. Bentley of this place, Col. A.:J. Bentley of New London and Mrs. Henry Witter of Worcester, Mass., all of whom survive him. At the time of his death he was the oldest male resident of this place and probably the oldest minister in the United States. Mr. Bentley was my great-uncle and died in 1884.

I am al- ways interested in that page of The Bulletin. I have been especially inter- ested in the accounts of the various itin- erant characters who used to travé: through this section.. I well remember the Indian women, Kate and Mary. One of the correspondents referred to a clock cleaner by the name of Bennett. Now I think there i8 2 mistake in the name, as the man In question was very evidently Ira Bentley. He answered perfectly to the description given as to habits, per- sonal appearance, etc. He always stop- ped at our house and sometimes spent the night there. He was an expert clock cleaner and after his work was done he would give a performance of considerable length upon a tin Whistle or fife. He seemed to have an endless repertoire of old-t.me tunes, jigs, reels, hornpipes, ete. I have heard him play by the hour and tion for many years. I have heard my grandmother Bay that they purchased a new clock in 1856 and that he first set it running. How much earlier than that | He stop- | he was traveling I cannot say. ped coming this way about 80 years ago. He was not, properly speaking, an itine: ant 2s he was possessed of 2 little prop- erty in Colchester. 1 aleo remember Jerry Bluebags, al- though he did mot come by our house very frequently In the early '80s there was a woman mildly insane who used to pase through ocur nelghborhood every few months. She used to always stop at our house for a cup of tea and a bit of lunch. I do not know her name. In the old days mearly every section of the country had Its own pecullar itiners ant charactera but they seem to have all disappeared. A FRIEND. PUTTING A GOOD YDEA INTO AC- TION. Dear Sisters. of the Social Corner Thinkin’ and thinkin’ without doing keeps one staying right in the same place, doesn't it? Well, ever since the Soctal Corner was organized I have en- /Joyed reading the articles and always intended to join this happy fam fiow I am following the good we've all seen, “Do it now.” Many times mother and I have sald ‘we'd 1lke 4o meet your jolly crowd at | Willimantic, so I trust there's room for a2 newcomer, .and I'll be a Cornerstone, ino a Soclal Corneite.

When mother and I saw him com- .ing, he arrived at our door to find it jocked, and to be greeted with silence, While he pounded the door with his hugs stick, end continued to mumble. It was his custom if he could find us With deors unbarred to enter, order hot tea, and I it be summer sweetened Wa- ter. He would also ask for thread and ‘darn his clothes. When I heard he was in Brookiyn jafl, I must say as a youngster. I fhought it 2 eafe place for Jerry Blue Bag, as he Was caned in this section.
