He served during World War II in the U.S. Army and married Eva Mae DeLamater on Dec 2, 1944 at Blackstone, Virginia. Mr. Benson had lived a number of years in Willows, California and was a member of the American Legion there. He and Mrs. Benson moved to Bandon in 1979. One of his most enjoyable pastimes was golfing.

His date of birth is variously recorded as 02 Feb 1908 (Oregon death index), 13 Feb 1908 (Social Security record), and 14 Feb 1908 (WW II draft registration); but the photo of his gravestone shows a blurred single digit number that appears to be a '1'.
