Hane, born Ill. burial: April 10, 1927, Glasco, Kansas Glasco Sun, April 14, 1927, page 1 column 1: Accident Takes Life Of One Of Glasco's Fine Young Men It was a most severe shock to the many friends of Luke Benson in this community to learn of the deplorable accident which befell him while at work at his trade of brick mason in Kansas City last Thursday morning. Luke had been at work but a short time when he ran out of brick and raised up to wait for a few minutes until more arrived when it was thought that he must have stepped on a small piece of brick which turned his ankle and caused him to lose his balance and fall from the scaffold to the basement of the building two stories below. He was rushed to Research Hospital where it was discovered that his neck was broken and the vertebrae severed in three places. His wife and their baby were immediately notified and were rushed to his bedside. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Benson of this city received the sad message late that evening and drove to Salina, catching an early morning train, reaching the bedside of their son Friday morning. Though it was impossible by any means known to science to save the life of this splendid fellow. The wife and baby and the parents had the consolation of spending the last day with him, through which he was conscious and rational and visited freely with them, even up to but a few short minutes before his death, which occurred at 7:30 o'clock. Sunday, the body accompanied by the wife and baby and the parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Benson; the father of Mrs. Benson, Mr. J.E. Hoops of Elzin (?), Kansas and his two sons, T.N. and Ivan of Kansas City and a daughter, Miss Juanita of Lincoln, arrived in Glasco. Another brother of Mrs. Benson's, E.O. Hoops, of Detroit, started for here upon receipt of the message but because of muddy roads did not reach here until just a few minutes before the funeral. While Luke has not made his home in Glasco for some years, we have from time to time, learned of the success he was attaining in his chosen profession and it is sad indeed that a life so rich in promise should be so suddenly taken. The sorrowing wife and baby, parents and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Christian Church conducted by Rev. Rollyn Kaiser of Beloit and interment was in Glasco Cemetery. Luke Greggory Benson** Luke Greggory Benson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Benson was born in St. Joseph, Mo. Dec. 23, 1902. He moved with the family to Delphos, Kansas, where he resided 2 years, after which time they moved to Glasco, Kansas where Luke spent his school days and grew to young manhood. Luke was a friendly fellow with a most pleasing disposition and he won and held many friends during his life here, and we learn that this was also true of him in the many places which his labor took him in later years. He was a member of the Christian Church of Glasco, which he joined while a boy. He was united in marriage to Miss Una Hoops at Oswego, Kans., December 24, 1922. To this union two daughters were born, Betty Lou, who died in infancy, and Patsy Jane, eight months of age. While at his occupation as a brick mason he came to his death by accidentally falling from a scaffold April 7, 1927 and passed away April 8, 1927, at the age of 25 years, 3 months and 15 days. He leaves to mourn his loss, besides his wife and baby, his parents, four sisters and four brothers, Mrs. Harry McClintock of Simpson, Mrs. C.L. Pilcher of Glasco, Mrs. R.E. Maxwell of Salina, Miss Grace Benson of Glasco, Messrs. Roy, Richard, John and Carl Benson of Glasco.
