This is a picture of my grandfather, Bill Bennett, and three of his daughters from his first marriage - from left to right: Ethel (Bennett) O�Steen; Mae (Bennett) Sullivan; and, the toddler, Pearl (Bennett) Walker.
Bill worked for the railroad and his first wife was Emmaline Coy (Pringle) Bennett. At the time of Coy�s death, they had four children: the three in the picture, and a nursing baby. They were living in a relatively isolated area, right next to the railroad tracks, somewhere called Pope, Florida. (I�m still trying to find where this is.) [note cm: she is shown buried in Verdie cem, Nassau Co: 25 Jan 1884 - 16 Jan 1910. Apparently the baby was Ray Nell Bennett 24 Jul 1909 - 26 May 1910, also in Verdie (the only two Bennetts listed) ]
As the story was told to me: One day, the toddler, Pearl, walked out onto the railroad tracks, saw the train coming and got scared. She then just sat down on the tracks, crying and wouldn�t move. The Mother, Coy, saw her and ran up to the tracks, grabbed the baby, and threw her clear just as the train hit her. . (Emmaline Coy Pringle Bennett: born January 25, 1884; died January 18, 1910.)
The youngest baby was nursing on breast milk and the two older girls tried to take care of it by themselves while their Dad worked. After a short time, it got sick and died. I understand the baby is buried near Coy, but we don�t know where. My Grandmother, Ada van Cora Pringle, was Coy (Pringle) Bennett�s first cousin. She knew the family and, since Bill Bennett was at that time an �eligible widower� and a �good catch� (remember, he had a job with the railroad) she �set her hat for him.� They were married on February 16, 1911.
In their marriage, they had four sons, William, Jr., �Dink�, Fred and Arvey. Two daughters Tommie and Loyce for a family with a total of nine children. All nine children grew up, married, had families of their own and lived to a great old age. My last uncle �Dink� - the last of the brothers and sisters - passed away in November, 2005 at the age of 87.
