Died, Feb. 28th, 1883, at his home in Sparta township, Benjamin Mulford.
He was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, August 17th, 1802. Was married October 4th, 1827, to Miss Mary Legg, who died March 1st, 1862.
To them were born the following named children: Oliver S. Mulford, Clarissa A. Tavlin, John L. Mulford, William C.L. Mulford, and Benjamin F. Mulford. James Vandolah was adopted by them as their child when but fourteen days old. John Walter Mulford was also adopted by them when but four weeks old.
In 1836, Mr. Mulford came here from Hamilton County, Ohio, to find a home for himself and family. After remaining here one year, he went back to Cincinnati, and there worked three years until he had earned money enough to pay for his place, when he moved here with his family and lived on, the farm here he then bought until death called him away.
His house was always a home for the homeless. Uncle Ben, as he was called by his neighbors for miles around, never refused a neighbor or friend a favor, as many in this neighborhood know. He was always blessed with plenty in house and barn, and many a neighbor has been accommodated by him in their hour of need. It can be said with honor to his name, that Uncle Ben never went back on the poor, and always welcomed and treated his friends and neighbors with pleasure.
