Solomon Benson b. 20 Sep 1837 , Ross, Ohio, United States d. 21 Feb 1904 Polk Township, Marion, Iowa, United States

1837 - 1904 (66 years)

Name	Solomon Benson [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Born	20 Sep 1837	, Ross, Ohio, United States [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
Gender	Male
Relocation	1856	, Ross, Ohio, United States [12]
	From Union Township, Marion, Iowa
	After Elizabeth's death, William Benson and children Solomon, Elizabeth, and William returned to Ohio. William's daughter Nancy and her husband Elijah Hurd had thier own household and remained in IA. William's daughter Margaret and her husband Joseph Free had thier own household and remained in IA. William's daughter Sarah and her husband George Miller do not appear in the 1856 Marion, IA census (as do Nancy and Elijah Hurd and Margaret and Joseph Free). For this reason one might wonder if they returned to OH with William. However, they had one son already, and the 1860 Marion, IA census indicates they had another son born in IA in 1856. Therefore I beleive they likely remained in IA and did not return to OH with William. The move likely occurred between March (William purchased property from Alfred Rees in Dec 1855 the deed for which was not recorded until Mar 1856) and Oct 1856 (William's daughter Elizabeth and William Hyer were married 2 Nov 1856 in Ohio). Role: Family Participant

	Title to these three parcels, which were originally purchased by William Benson from Joseph Klein (including the piece which was sold to and then apparently purchased back from Alfred Rees) were transferred over to sons Solomon and Elijah Benson for "love and affection". The total size of the combined property was about 173 acres. The deed was executed on 02/02/1857 in Ross County, OH, however it was not filed in Knoxville, IA until 06/08/1860. The deed was witnessed by Alfred Benson and George E. Miller. There is a duplicate filing in Book L, page 344.

Obituary	26 Feb 1904	Knoxville, Marion, Iowa, United States [10]
The Knoxville Journal
Solomon Benson, one of the old and well known residents of Polk township, died at his home 41/2 miles north of town at an early hour Sunday morning Feb. 21, after an illness of less than a weeks' duration. He had not been in good health for several years but had been able to attend to his business affairs and was in town as late as Wednesday of last week. On Thursday he was taken with pneumonia and grew rapidly worse until the end came at the time mentioned in the forgoing. Deceased was born in Ross Co., Ohio, Sept. 20, 1837, and at the time of his death had reached the age of 66 years, 5 months, and 1 day. He first came to Marion Co. with his parents in 1853 but returned to Ohio the same year or the year following, and remained in that state until 1857, when he returned and settled permanently in Polk township, where he has since made his home. On August 15, 1862, he enlisted in Co. A of the 40th Iowa, and served the Union cause honorably and faithfully until discharged from the service on August 18, 1865. On May 7, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Jarman, who with her seven children still survive. The children are W.O. Benson of Harvey, John of Colfax, Dora, now Mrs. Van Haaften, residence 3 miles south of Harvey, Mary, wife of Mell Speed of Union Township, Robert, near Mitchelville, and Elijah and Grover, who reside with their mother on the farm. Besides the above there are 12 grandchildren who called Mr. Benson grandfather. Mrs. Wm. Hyer of Knoxville, Mrs. Mary Leuty near Red Rock and Mrs. Chas. Evans of the Butcher Creek neighborhood, are sisters of the deceased. Mrs. Benson is a sister of J. C. Jarman of this city. Few men in this section could count more firm and steadfast friends than could "Sol" Benson. He was always the same, sick or well, and never allowed himself to say or do anything that would injure another. Those who loved him best, and or his true worth as a man, were those who had known him since he was a boy. He was the first of the immediate family to die. He lived to see all of his children married except one, and until he could count an even dozen grandchildren. These and the other relatives and a host of friends are in sorrow because of his departure from earth. The funeral occurred at the Christian Union church two miles north of town Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. H. Loveall of the M. E. church. A year ago he expressed the desire to have the soldier song, "Dropping From The Ranks, One by One," sung at his funeral. That wish was gratified. The interment was in the North Cemetery.
