Prof. Adam S. Bennion, a member of our [Sunday School] General Board, married Minerva, daughter of General and Mrs. Richard W. Young. Mrs. Bennion is known among her intimates as “Nerve,” and their two earlier-born children (they have a bran-new boy) as Phyllis and “Buddie.”

A year or so ago, General, then Major Young presented a small book to Prof. Bennion, with the following more or less improper inscription:

If this dear little book
Has a cheap little look,
And you return it as not worth A-dam;
Know that we all agree,
Buddie, Phyllis and me,
That we sure like your Nerve, the madam!

– Juvenile Instructor, 1918
