Benjamin is the son of Benjamin Franklin and Addie Arminta Todd Williams. He grew up in Eagletown with several siblings connected below.
Serving in WWII, Ben enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1941 and served until 1945.
On 15 Dec 1945, he married Alva Augustine Capps in Sevier Co., Arkansas.
Benjamin is my 1st cousin, 1X removed. When I look at his photo I see so much of my own father Conley Leon Todd, Sr. They were 1st cousins and looked somewhat similar especially in attached photo. I can only wish I'd met Ben in person.
Rest in peace cousin.....
