Benson Cemetery Listing

If you have any questions, please email the Coordinator

This cemetery listing was compiled from several sources. Some of the data came from family information used in previous listings.  Some came from the Works Project Administration (WPA) list that ended in the 1930s.  And some info came from emails, notes, lists, and undocumented sources.  As each list is typed and retyped, the information can change because each person interprets the numbers or names differently or, the data is mistyped.  Use these cemetery sources as a tool to discover.  If you have additional information about the cemetery interments drop me an email. As I combined the listings if there was a conflict in names, dates or comments I indicated the differences in red.
