I find a lot of conflicting information here. In the 1900 Census Benjamin was alive, but according to this obit, he died in 1895. Some records show b. 1846 d. 1922.
I believe whoever gave the information for this was wrong--which just goes to show--what is "Proof "
Can't seem to find his death record--is he buried in Elwood, Madison Co. ?
