h/o Sarah Isabelle Roark
Benjamin Wilson Amos was born on December 18, 1832, in Cole County, Missouri, to Anthony Wilson and Jane (Simpson) Amos. He married Sarah Isabell Roark on October 8, 1857, in Moreau Township, Cole County, Missouri. They had 12 children in 23 years; 4 died in infancy or childhood.
During the Civil War, in July of 1862, Benjamin and his 3 brothers attempted to join a group of rebel recruits led by Captain Crabtree. All 4 brothers were captured by Union forces and imprisoned, eventually being sent to the infamous prison camp in Alton, Illinois. They were later released and returned home, but brothers Joseph and Andrew died from illnesses caught in the camp.
Benjamin returned home to his wife and family. He is listed on the Civil War register in 1863 with his brother John, but as far as we know, neither of them served in either army.
Benjamin died on January 7, 1892, at the age of 59, and was buried in Campbell Cemetery. His wife, Sarah, outlived him by 25 years and eventually was buried beside him.
