Jackson Twp. Pioneer Is Called To Reward
Benjamin Batson, 73, Died At His Home Near Mt. Zion This Morning
Benjamin Batson, a pioneer resident of Jackson township, died at 3:30
o'clock this morning at his home one mile south and one mile west of Mt.
Zion at the age of seventy-three years nine months and twenty-nine days.
Mr. Batson had been in feeble health for some time, but the end was hastened
when he was stricken with pneumonia last Thursday.
Mr. Batson was born on the farm on which he died. He was one of nine children of
Samuel and Mary Batson[sic son of Nathaniel Batson and Nancy Ralston], and his
parents and all brothers and sisters have preceded him in death. Surviving are
the widow; one son Henry Batson, and a daughter, Mrs. Ollie Dawson, residing
near Montpelier. An infant son died many years ago, and another son, James, died
two years ago.
The deceased was a member of the Church of the Brethren at Sugar Grove, and the
funeral service will be held there at 2 Wednesday afternoon, with interment in
the Batson cemetery.
