Benjamin WASSON, farmer and stock-raiser, section 31, Jefferson Township, was born in Morgan County, Illinois, May 20, 1848, a son of J. D. and Mary E. (Castle) Wasson, prominent citizens of Lineville. He was but a child when his parents moved to Decatur County, Iowa, and in this State he was reared and educated. When his parents came to Iowa the country was an unbroken prairie, and he has witnessed the change from a wilderness to a country of thriving villages and productive farms. He was reared a farmer, and being naturally of an industrious, energetic disposition he has assisted to a large extent in the transformation above referred to. He now has a fine farm of 220 acres, which comprises one of the best homes in Jefferson Township. Mr. Wasson enlisted in the war of the Rebellion in Company D, Fifty-first Iowa Infantry, and served his country as a brave and gallant soldier. He was married December 17, 1874, to Miss Alice Elson, daughter of N. O. Elson. They have had five children, but of three of whom are living ---Mary O., Eliza L. and Jettie. Mr. and Mrs. Wasson are members of the Methodist Episcopal church South. ***************** 11/10/21 The regiment noted on the paqe, 51 Iowa Inf, was in the Span Am War, not the Civil War. Someone needs to do more research to clarify which war he was in. Contributor: Michael Carr (50036221)
