LINVILLE, BENJAMIN JEFFERSON
(5 Apr 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Benjamin Jefferson Linville was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on
May 24, 1831, and died at the home of his son, R. N. Linville, Elk City,
Oklahoma, at 1:30 a.m., April 4, 1928, being 96 years, 10 months and 10
days of age.
In 1852 Mr. Linville was united in marriage to Mary Elizabeth Graham, to
which union seven children were born.  Mrs. Linville and four of the
children preceded the husband and father in death.  Three sons survive
their father:  I. G. Linville, Arora, Ill., B. J. Linville, Jr., of Barnes
City, Iowa, and R. N. Linville, Elk City, Oklahoma.
During the past fourteen years Mr. Linville has resided with Mr. and Mrs.
R. N. Linville at Elk City, Okla.
The deceased has been a Christian for many years, having affiliated with
the Quaker church.  He, like the Apostle Paul, fought a good fight, he
finished the course, he has kept the faith, and now departed to receive
the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall
give.
Funeral arrangements were in charge of Geo. R. Grubitz & Son, and the
service was conducted by Carl V. Covey, pastor of the First Christian
church, at 4 p.m., April 4, 1928.  Interment was made in Fairlawn
cemetery, Elk City, Oklahoma.
