A description of the book "The History and Genealogy of Benville, Ohio", published in 1997 by Cletus Gerber (found in Cletus' obituary):
"It is the story of Cletus' family dating back to his great grandfather, Ben Amstutz, whom he remembered. Ben came to the United States with his parents, four brothers and one sister from Switzerland in 1871, as an eighteen-year-old. Ben married here and raised a family. As his children grew up and married, Ben gave each couple a small piece of farmland in close proximity to his homestead, hence the name Benville. Early Benville had a cheese factory, a grocery store and a cider mill. Family farms grew fruit and vegetables for sale."
