Back of monument: Benbow, John, (1800-1874)
John Benbow. He had perfect trust in the Prophet and apostles. When they needed money to publish the Book of Mormon, he and his wife Jane Holmes gave it to them.
When the Prophet was falsely arrested, he gave all his holdings.
When President Brigham Young called for every Ward in the Church to provide teams, wagon and driver to go to the Missouri River and transport Saints to Zion, he was one who filled this request every year for six years. Each trip took six months.
He irrigated, farmed then harvested his hay and grain with a scythe that he would feed his tried teams through the winter to prepare for the next summers journey. He lived only six years after this strenuous labor. He fathered but one daughter, who mothered posterity of faithful Latte Day Saints.
"This is the testimony, last of all, which we give Him: That He Lives!" D. &. C. 76:22.
