Uncle Ben Markham died at Corpus Christi Sunday night from a stroke of apoplexy. His remains were shipped to Trenton, Tennessee for internment. Uncle Ben was crossing Artesian Park when stricken and was taken to the hospital, but only lived a few hours. Uncle Ben was well known in Caddo. He was 64 years of age, unmarried, and beloved of all who knew him. He was a consistent and faithful member of the Methodist Church. The years that he lived in Caddo were spent trying to make Caddo a better town.
At Corpus Christi he was liked and respected by all, making friends with everyone. Uncle Ben was one of the best men the writer has ever known. We believe his influence will be felt for years to come. His death came suddenly, peacefully and he was ready.
