MILO BENSCHOTER
Family
Milo Benschoter was the second born child of Jeremiah and Sarah (Wetherlow) Van Benschoten, born in Sempronius, New York. Milo was one of thirteen born to the couple from New York. His older brother was Henry born 1800 in Sempronius, then following Milo were Ensign born 1803 in Sempronius, William born 1806 in Sepronius, Curtis born 1807 in Sempronius, Samuel Wetherlow born 1811 at Rocky River, Ohio, Delia born 1815 at Huron, Ohio, and Mary Ann born 1819 at Huron. Five of Milo's siblings did not survive childhood: Aaron, Harriett, Betsy, Jeremiah, and Sarah--no records of their births.
Arriving in Ohio
Jeremiah and Sarah brought their family to Ohio in 1810. They were one of the pioneer families of Ohio.
History
The following is excerpted from Concerning the Van Bunschoten or Van Benschoten family in America written by William Henry Van Benschoten in 1907, about the life of Milo and his wife Sarah:
"Milo VB [Van Benschoten] married Sarah Hollister. She died March 20, 1839, and he in May of the same year. Milo and his wife dying thus early little survives regarding them.
Milo's farm adjoined that of his brother Curtis, and the latter as guardian of the children, bargained with Theophilus Church to take this farm as compensation for the board and care of Burgess and Hubbard, and in addition to pay to Oliver Peake fifty dollars per annum for caring for the youngest child, Oliver.
Children:
Ralph died young.
Dwight died young.
Hubbard Hollister, born December 27, 1833.
Burgess, born January 11, 1836.
Oliver, born March 15, 1839
Milo and Sarah died where they had lived in Berlin township. Where they were buried is now a cultivated field. No stones mark the spot and moralize on life."
Descendants:
Perhaps no stone marks his spot, but his legacy of descendants certainly does. His grandchildren, children of his son Burgess, undeniably did remember him. The following article was published in a newspaper of Jasper County, Missouri:
Family Reunion Held
The annual Benschoter reunion was held Sunday in Carter park at Carthage [Missouri].
A picnic lunch was served.
Following the lunch, Mrs. Howard Bryant [Eloda Fay Benschoter, daughter of Frank Benschoter, son of Burgess] of Baytown, Tex., gave a brief history of the Benschoter family.
Gifts were presented to the oldest and youngest persons present. Mrs. Charles Stauffer [Edna Viola Lett, daughter of Laura Benschoter Lett] of Neosho, who is 76 years old, and Miss Luanne Bukowich [daughter of Carolyn Sue Stauffer Bukowich] of Rolla, the three-month-old great-granddaughter of Mrs. Stauffer, received gifts.
There were approximately 95 persons in attendance, most of whom were descendants of Burgess Benschoter, who resided in the Scotland community until his death in 1916. Although none of his sons and daughters is living, the families of each were represented.

Note: Great appreciation goes to Boyd for creating this memorial as well as the opportunity to honor Milo with a memorial.
