Las Vegas Age - 12/24/1921


FATHER OF MRS. J. M. ULLOM PASSED AWAY IN POMONA



    Benjamin F. RANSFORD, Civil War veteran and prominent member of the 

Shilo Association, died at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon at his home at 537 

West Holt Avenue.  He was 80 years of age and had lived in Pomona for 

twenty-seven years.

    Mr. RANSFORD was a member of the Vicksburg Post G. A. R. and had been 

prominent in G.A.R. affairs here more than twenty-five years.  He was one of 

the few surviving members of the Pomona Shilo Association.

    He leaves his wife and two daughers, Mrs. Pearl R. MC CULLOUGH of Pomona 

and Mrs. Mabel R. ULLOM of Las Vegas, Nevada.

    The funeral will be held at 2:00 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Todd 

chapel.  Rev. John HALL, pastor of the first Methodist church, will 

officiate.  Burial will be in the Pomona cemetery where the G.A.R. will have 

charge of the services.

    Mr. RANSFORD had a host of friends here and was admired by them all.  He 

has been in poor health for several months but continued to be cheerful in 

spite of advancing age.  A few months ago he enjoyed a reunion of the Shilo 

veterans which was held at his home where he was confined by his illness. -
