Ben Longacre, the first son of John Jackson & 'Bell' Longacre. His grandfather, Benjamin Longacre, born 1761, came to Bluff Springs Missouri in 1831 or 32. Some sources say 1827 or 28, but he was on the Tennessee census in 1830.
Forth great grandson of Anders Peterson Longacre and Magdelana Cock Longacre .
Ben A. Longacre & Ferba Brummet Longacre had 7 children. We have a note in some family papers that state Ben died of pneumonia.

Benjamin A. Longacre departed this life March 5, 1891 near Fulkerson, Johnson County, Mo., aged 43 years and 3 months.
The deceased had been a faithful member of the Methodist church at Basin Knobs since 1866, having professed religion under the ministry of Rev. J.P. Barnaby. Possessed of a spirit of gentleness and a disposition of kindness to all his neighbors, he was held in esteem by all who knew him. The writer learned that he was a man that never made an enemy. On March the 25th, 1877, he was united in marriage to Miss Furba Brummet of Barton County, Mo., who, with seven children and many kindred and friends, mourn his untimely death.

The writer conducted the funeral services from the church where he had been from his childhood days a faithful attendant. The regard in which he was held was shown by the large concourse of neighbors and kindred who braved the cold March winds to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of one whom they would see no more upon the earth.- L.H.
