Ben died just hours after his father C.F.F. Porter. Can anyone confirm the newspaper and date? Obit of Benjamin F. Porter Benjamin F. Porter died at the family home near Calhoun last night at 10:30 o"clock, of pneumonia. Mr. Porter was born December 21st 1860, being thus about 47 years of age at the time of his demise. His father, C.F.F. Porter also died yesterday, but in the morning. The remains will be buried tomorrow in the Calhoun cemetery, temporarily, and later both the father and son will be taken to Oregon for final interment. The case is doubly sad on account of the whole family being sick and almost helpless. Mr. Porter leaves a wife, son and daughter, also three step children to mourn their loss.
