From Story County Watchman September 10, 1897

Collins Liberator: ....Mrs. Frances Benson died at the home of her son-in-law, J. A. Lueing, last Thursday at the advanced age of 80 years. Short services were held at the house Friday morning prior to taking the remains to LaMoile, where the funeral services were held in the afternoon....

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: I have found references to the fact that the father of Isabelle (Wyatt) Luing (Mrs. J. A. Luing) was a Joseph Green. I do not know if Frances Wyatt and this Joseph Green ever married. If they were married, why did Isabelle always carry her mother's maiden name, Wyatt? Her son, John Albert Luing, did list her as Isabelle Benson on his marriage record, however.
