Death Once More Invades Ranks of Ionia’s Veterans

Once more death has swung his scythe into the little handful of Civil War 
veterans left in Ionia this time summoning Edward Bensinger to the land where 
wars shall be no more.

Mr. Bensinger answered the eternal roll call Monday night, death coming at his 
home at 643 E. Washington street after an illness of several months.

Although born in Pennsylvania, 83 years ago, it was with the 48th Ohio Infantry 
that Mr. Bensinger served during the war of the rebellion after he answered an 
early call for volunteers.

Surviving him are three sons, William B., of Ionia, Edward of Lansing, and 
James of St. Johns, and a daughter, Mrs. Caroline Westover, of Hilton, Tex.

Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the home, with Rev. Herbert 
G. Hurrell, pastor of the Church of Christ officiating.  Burial was in Highland 
Park cemetery.
