On the marker his name is Leander L. Benton. Leander maybe a combination of his first and middle name. Also I have seen his name Leonidas L. (Leander) Benton. For now don't know which is correct. Will leave as is on the marker.
****************************************************
Have changed his death date to Nov 25, 1953 since the obit states his died on Wednesday not on the 27th which is on his marker. The 27th maybe the burial date.
