Notes
a. Note:   Obituary for Mrs. Grace Benham BENHAM Mrs. Grace Benham, a continuous resident of Hubbard County since 1880, passed away on Sunday, November 10, 1963 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Park Rapids. Mrs. Benham came to Hubbard County by wagon train with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Wilkins on May 20, 1880 and settled in Hubbard Township on a piece of land now known as the Clinton Manlove farm and which Mr. Wilkins had homesteaded. She grew to womanhood there and attended school at Hubbard as a young girl. Grace Mabel Wilkins was born in Renville County near Morton, Minnesota on June 16, 1877. On June 16, 1894 she was united in marriage with G. Howard Benham and moved to the Benham farm in Hubbard Township, which has since been her home. To this union there were born four children, Iva (Mrs. Frank H. Smith) of Minneapolis; Rita (Mrs. Ray Skillings, deceased); Vernon L. of Tacoma, Washington; and Ira H. of Park Rapids. Mrs. Benham also raised a granddaughter, Grace Skillings (Mrs. Ed Lord of Seattle Washington}. in addition to her immediate family she leaves to mourn two other granddaughters, four great grandchildren, and three great great grandchildren beside many nieces and nephews. Mrs. Benham was the last of ten children and was also preceded by her husband who died in 1933. Funeral services were held in the Hubbard Methodist Church on Thursday, November 14, 1963 with Rev. Alex M. Ramos officiating. Music was furnished by Mrs. Winston Manlove, Mrs. Melvin Bolton, Robert Stevens and Dennis Bolton with Mrs. Wilfrid Norman at the piano. Pallbearers, all nephews of Mrs. Benham, were Byron Waterman, Paul McFarren, Harry Wilkins of Park Rapids, William D. Gunn of Minneapolis, Temple Hinds and Leonard LaBonte of Hubbard. Internment was at the Hubbard Cemetery with the Frazey Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Benham was a member of the Puritan Rebekah Lodge at Hubbard for more than sixty years. For twenty years she served as Treasurer of Hubbard Township, and was always interested in community affairs. A good neighbor and friend, Aunt Grace, as she was known by the entire community, will be greatly missed. Relatives attending the funeral from out of town were V. L. Benham from Tacoma, Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith of Minneapolis, Charles Foster and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Wilson from St, Paul, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Gunn from Minneapolis, Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Folsom from Brainerd, and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bement from Deerwood.
