Bennie Carroll Talbert of Sheridan, Arkansas was born May 28, 1938 in Dallas County, Arkansas, the son of the late Thomas Carroll and Rachel Key Talbert.  He was a member of Little Creek Missionary Baptist Church, and formerly served in the United States Air Force.  Bennie was retired from Winston LP Gas in Sheridan after many years of service.  Bennie was well known, and well thought of in his community, but his eyes were fixed on Heaven, and we rejoice that He's with Jesus.
