Archibald Benners obituary, 1918

from the New Jersey Courier 26 Jul 1918 Beach Haven, July 22--Lieutenant Archibald D. Benners of the United States Marine Corps and a summer resident of this place since early boyhood died recently from wounds received while fighting for his country somewhere in France. Lieutenant Benners was twenty one years of age and had a very promising career ahead of him. He was born in Philadelphia and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bartleson G. Benners and a graduate of the Virginia Military Academy of Lexington, VA. He was well known and well liked. His two aunts, Misses Kate and Nannie Benners reside here and received the bad news of the brave young Lieutenant's death last Friday morning.
