Hi Katie I guess it's possible that he died at that time but I don't think so, it's said that one of his son's attended his funeral after the date of 1910, but nobody can determine where the "funeral" of sorts was held, although it was in WV. I asked Larry Hefner for a cem lookup and a death lookup in Ritchie Co.....nothing. Benjamin was married to Frances A. Wilkinson Smith. I think Sarah Crouser was his sister in law or something but she wasn't his wife. Old Ben Crouser wasn't well liked by his family. Someone might have just dug a hole and shoved him in and not even gone to the courthouse to record it........ I do know that he didn't live with any of his children......none of them. The son Luther was on the 1900 Ritchie Co. Census with him, but Luther left the area not long after that. Benjamin was born and married in Wood Co. but after that lived in Ritchie Co. ...His death isn't found in Wood Co. either Thanks for looking Jana On Sun, 13 Apr 2003 12:35:04 -0400 "katieros" <katieros@ezwv.com> writes: > Hi Jana > > Is there a chance that Benjamin died between 1900 & 1910?
