The firstborn of Johnson and Jane Hellen, he appears to have first attended Indiana University later graduating with his MD from Columbian College, now George Washington University, in Washington in 1854. He married Virginia Edith Phillips in Washington on 16 Sept 1858. No records are found of any offspring. Virginia, born about April 1840 in VA, is last found in the 1900 census in Washington, noted as a widow and a boarder, and wrote her will on 14 May of the following year, 1901. She cannot be confirmed as having been interred with Benjamin upon her death on 1 May 1904 in Washington (per her will and its probate), so no memorial has yet been created for her.
Benjamin is credited by local historians as instrumental in the founding of Providence Hospital in 1861, that first a small building he and a group of associates secured in the neighborhood of the later first purpose-built hospital building, now long demolished and its site Providence Park.
From a local newspaper: "On the 2nd instant, Dr. B.Johnson Hellen, in the 35th year of his age. Funeral will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow (Tuesday) at St Aloysius Church"...also see attached.
