Notes:
 FRANK
COLQUITT BENSON—
Frank was born 07 Mar 1893 in Carrolton, GA. His parents were Mr.
and Mrs. N. L. Benson. He had worked for several years at the SA
Pace Grocery Company. He was medium height and build with brown eyes
and brown hair.
He left Corsicana on May 8, 1917 to train at Leon Springs, Texas.
Formally entering on May 12, 1917, he served as a first lieutenant
in the 90th Detachment, Administration Labor Company.
On the weekend of Nov 12, 1917, he visited his parents in Corsicana.
If the people of Navarro Co happen to visit the Majestic Theater in
Corsicana on December 4, 1917, they would have been treated a view
of Camp Logan at Houston, Texas, which was comprised of a group of
officers at that place that included Frank C. Benson. And he was
home again that year for the Christmas season. The second week of
Feb 1918 his mother went to visit with him in camp Logan.
He was at Camp Merritt, New Jersey, working night and day so was
even to busy to return his customary letters home when at the age of
25 years and 7 months he became very sick. His condition was
serious, and that a daily report of his condition would be wired to
the family. His father contacted Camp Merritt inquiring the nature
of the illness which as it turns out was Spanish influenza. Only
after a 5 day battle, on 06 Oct 1918, with the dreaded diseases he
was over come and crossed over the river. His mother left for New
York to accompany the remains of her son home to be buried with
military honors at the Oakwood cemetery in Corsicana.
As Mr. Benson went to meet his wife with the remains of his son in
Tyler, TX, and escort them the rest of the way home. At this time
War Work Board committee comprised of W. H. Hastings, J. A.
Thompson, Orville Hyndman, Joel Trimble, Roy Thompson and Wm.
Clarkson Jr. held a meeting and decided to abandon the plans for the
funeral as first had been announced due to the fact that there is
now a quarantine on which prohibits any soldiers or military bands
from leaving camp.
With that announcement the funeral took place from the First Baptist
Church Saturday morning at 11 o'clock with Rev. HW Vining
officiating and interment at Oakwood Cemetery with the following

Tribute To Lieut. Benson printed in the Corsicana Daily Sun.
Thos Who Knew Him Best Praise His Virtues Most Highly
We whose names are signed to this article having worked side by side
with Lieut. Frank C. Benson as his fellow employee at the S. A. Pace
Grocery Company, desire to give this public expression of our esteem
of him and by this means publicly declare his worth, so much better
known to and so much better appreciated by us by reason of our
personal association with him in the every day concerns of life. At
the close of the public school in
Corsicana a little more than eight years ago, he began his career
with this institution by seeking and obtaining, from the President
of the Company, Mr. S. A. Pace, employment as a truck clerk. He
spent the summer months in this position, displaying talent and
energy, and noticeable fidelity and loyalty. These qualities were
observed by all of his associates and especially impressed Mr. Pace,
the manager of the company, who insisted upon his finishing school
and taking his diploma, with a view later of assuming a high and
responsible position.
It did not seem practicable to him to follow this advice and he
insisted upon continuing with the company and he was accordingly
retained and continued his services without interruption.
His promotion was steady from the first and at the time he responded
to the call of his country, about a. year and a half ago he left us
to devote himself to the national service for the period of the war
he occupied one of the most responsible positions in the office.
He was modest, unassuming and pleasant in all of his associations
and relations with the officers and employees of the company; and he
had the uniform esteem and affection of them all. We looked with
pride upon his successful career in the army. His career as a
soldier, we knew could not be other than an honor to himself and his
country, and we looked forward hopefully to the day when he would
return to the pursuit of his successful civilian career among us,
all being sure that his worth as a man would bring to him
distinction in the business world. Full devotion to duty was his
mark of distinction. Difficulties were never great enough to deter
him from its full performance. We take consolation from the fact
that he gave his life to his country in the line of duty.
Frank C. Benson is a noble example of the martyrs making the supreme
sacrifice, to the righteous war waged by the great country for which
he sacrificed a useful life filled with promise.
