Benjamin also has a grave in Oakland Cemetery, Centerville, Iowa, next to his wife, Mary Campbell Adamson, and his son, John H. L. Adamson. I have no proof, but I believe that this grave holds his remains, and the Iowa grave is a cenotaph.


Obituary

Benjamin Adamson, of Saratoga, died at his home in that place, last Friday, the 23rd inst., of typho-pneumonia, after a short illness. Mr. Adamson came to this county from Centerville, Iowa, in 1978, and was a most exemplary citizen. He was buried at Iuka last Sunday, by the Grand Army, of which he was an honored member.
