Dillman Benton, son of George and Mary Benton, was born in Washington township, Clinton County, April 23, 1856. He was united in marriage to Ada Coverdale February 10, 1880. To this union two children were born, Alma Benton Peterson, who was taken by death a year ago and Richard E. Benton, who lives on a farm near Elwood.

Mr. Benton was a member of the Methodist church of Maquoketa; also a member of the Masonic lodge where he was always willing to fill any office. He was very faithful to his home and wife, especially during her shut-in days.

Funeral services were held at 2:00 o'clock at the Methodist Church, Rev. H. H. Dill officiating. Burial was in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Maquoketa.
