Joanne d'Arc Pitre: Charlottetown Guardian (PEI), Tuesday, 6 September 1949: In Memoriam - Mrs. Benjamin L. Arsenault - The communities of Howlan and Woodstock, were very deeply grieved on Tuesday morning Aug. 23rd when it became known that the Angel of Death had visited the district at midnight and claimed for its own the soul of Mrs. Ben L. Arsenault at the age of 71 years. Mrs. Arsenault had been ill all last winter, having been quite a while in Western Hospital where all the best that medical aid could do was done for her. Later in the spring she was removed to her home where she again received careful attention by her doctor and devoted husband and family but all to no avail and on above date her spirit gently winged its way back to its Redeemer. During her illness she was very often visited by her beloved pastor the Rev. Fr. Rooney who administered to her the last holy rites of the Catholic Church of which she had always been a very devout member. Her family were all by her bedside but her eldest son Joseph when she passed away but he arrived in time for her funeral.

Arsenault, Providence, R.I., Mrs. Leon Peters of Bloomfield, Bennett Peters, of Bloomfield, Albert Peters of Fortune Cove and John Peters of Rumford, Me., besides quite a number of grandchildren whom she loved dearly and who will cherish happy memories of their dear grandmother. Her funeral which was largely attended was held on Friday morning from St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church. Rev. Fr. Rooney celebrated her Funeral Mass and also officiated at the grave where all that was mortal of a devoted wife and loving mother was tenderly laid to rest there to await a glorious resurrection beside her beloved parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Eusebe Peters, also her sister, (Rose) Mrs. Gallant who predeceased her. Her pallbearers were, Robert Gallant, Wm. Shield, Peter Gallant, Leo and Bert Peters and Lawrence Peters. May her soul rest in peace. Floral tributes were:- Wreath: Husband and family.
