FatherJames L. BENSON (1833-)
MotherLousia A. MARTIN (ca1838-)
Misc. Notes
Surname “BENSON” found through birth & death records of son, Ernest. [464], [450]

Her formal name may have been “Harriet”
Research
What appears to be the same address they lived at in 1921, is occupied by a different family in 1930 (Olmsted Co., 1st-Ward, Rochester, Series: T626  Roll: 1110  Page: 22 [browse mode], sheet 6B, SD=13, ED=55-19)

Maybe she remarried after Frank died? Or just moved out of state?
Why isn’t she buried with Frank in Oakwood Cemetery?

I found a family headed by James BENSON, in Ironton, in the 1880 census, with wife “Loisa” but no Hattie BENSON in the household. There was a “Hattier HELMS” age 1, who might actually have been James’ granddaughter, though the entry says “dau.” Based on other census years Hattie would have been about 8 years old in the 1880 census. [1037]

Searched Sauk Co., WI, birth records for Hattie BENSON and Hattier HELMS. There was no BENSON or HELMS in the birth index.
