This is peculiarly true today when it became known that a good citizen had answered the call of nature and passed to higher life, after years of happy citizenship in Rochester. Benjamin F. SHEWARD was highly respected by any acquainances, friends and relatives because of his affable nature, kindliness and suavity on all occasions. For a number of years he was engaged as proprietor of the grain and seed store on North Main street. He was always a steady worker, early and late, giving to all tasks the best he knew. During the construction of the Rochester water works system he was one of the strong arm men and did his part effectively and honestly. He also served as a member of the Rochester city council for two terms. He was a member of the Rochester Lodge No. 79, F&AM for a long term of years; also of Rocheser Chapter No. 70, O.E.S., from which he retired a few years ago by reason of his condition of health, and the Loyal Order of Moose. His church affiliation was with the Christian Church of this city, where he was regarded as a pillar of strength in the vineyard of the Master. In all his ways his emulation was squared by the teachings of the Nazarane, thus it is conceded that a righteous man leaves his fellows bereft of his presence to gain the glory won by a spledid life on earth. Benjamin Frank SHEWARD, son of Nimrod D. and Caroline E. (MERCER) SHEWARD, was born February 3, 1863, passed to his estate beyond, at the home, in this city, 1015 Pontiac street, Thursday, February 12, 1931, aged 68 years and 9 days. On Ocrtober 30, 1904, Benjamin Frank Sheward and Arwesta HULSE were united in the holy bonds of wedlock, this union typifying the founding of a truly American home. Surviving are the widow, a daugher, Mrs. Herbert FUNSETT, of Arena, Wis., and a step-daughter, Mrs. Carl Van TRUMP of this city.
