When a small boy he moved with his parents to Wisconsin during the early pioneer period and there grew to young manhood. In 1859 he was united in marriage to Sarah L. Bigford. To this union three children were born, two of whom, with the mother preceded him in death. When Civil War was declared, he answered the call of his country and served with the 14th Wisconsin Infantry until honorably discharged. When peace again was restored he, with his family moved to Nebraska and resided there for five years, then returned to Wisconsin and spent 15 years. He then moved to Adams County, Iowa. In 1901, where he was an honored and respected citizen for many years. In early youth, he consecrated his life to his Savior and lived faithfully according to the teachings of his Master. It can truthfully be said that "his delight was in the law of the Lord and in that law did he meditate day and night." He was a faithful, constant Christian, a citizen, above reproach, a kind and helpful neighbor, a loving husband and father. In Mr. Benedict's death our community has lost an estimable and worthy citizen. He was the last survivor of the Meyerhoff Post, which with his passing, marks the going out of a band of noble men who offered their lives as the supreme sacrifice on the altar of their beloved country. He leaves to mourn their loss, his daughter, 14 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren, and a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held at the home of his daughter, Friday, October 24, 1930 and were conducted as a military funeral by Oureq Post No 117, American Legion of Corning, Iowa, with Attorney Lee R. Watts as Chaplain. Interment was made in the Nodaway Cemetery. Adams County Free Press, October 30, 1930, page 4
