 Benjamin Franklin Truesdell is buried at Necessity
Cemetery, Stephens County. He served as a Union soldier in the Civil War. He
was with the 47th Regiment, Missouri Infantry. I think he was in Company F.
His twin brother George Washington Truesdell served in the same regiment and
I think he is also buried at Necessity. Benjamin died February 26, 1912 .
