Subject: Benjamin Franklin Halstead
Benjamin Franklin, son of Isaac and Caroline Halstead, was born August 10, 1858, near Edina, Mo. In 1861 he came with his parents to a farm three miles southwest of Cantril; at which time there was no town there. In his early manhood he united with the Egypt Christian church, southeast of Milton. Later, when the Christian church was organized at Cantril, he transferred his membership there as a charter member.
At the age of 27 he was united in marriage with Mary Sterritt; at that time he united with the Mt. Olive M. E. church on the Memphis, Mo., charge, that being the church to which his companion belonged. Some time in 1914 he transferred his membership to the Cantril M. E. church, to which church he continued faithful until his departure.
At the time of the departure of his mother he was living one-half mile south of his father's farm. He then came to live with and care for his father. During the fall of 1888 his wife passed away. On October 16, 1900, he was united in marriage with Miss Ida White, of Stiles. In 1905 his father passed away, after which he moved to his own home. He remained there until November 16, 1929, when he and his companion came to live with her mother, Mrs. White, of Stiles. It was here he passed away quietly April 21, at 9:30 a. m.
He was a man not easily convinced to new ideas, but was true to his own convictions. Nothing pleased him more than to help some one that was sick or in distress. He was a member of the M. W. A., the I. O. O. F. and the Rebekah lodges. However, his church came first, and as long as health permitted he attended [sic] both the Sunday school and church services. These were a source of great enjoyment to him. He was a lover of his home, church and friends. On the last morning here he asked to be permitted to sit up for their morning devotions. After his companion had read the twentieth chapter of Revelations, he offered prayer, or rather talked with God concerning giving us sufficient strength for what the day might bring forth. Then within a brief time he was not, for God took him.
He leaves to mourn, his companion and one sister, Mrs. Ella McMillan, and other relatives who await summons to meet him in the Great Beyond.

From CL Frost: "Hi Gary: re: Isaac & Benj Franklin Halstead
" I just returned from searching the files in Scotland,Mo. and Van Buren,Ia. for these fellows. You can check the various dates and locations. The cem. location on Isaac and children are from VanBuren,Ia. The people in Scotland,Mo said that the cem. records had not been done properly back in 1970, so don't trust them, as the fellow who took them only recorded tombstones and not the records. I have a local person that will check for Benj, F as I am pretty sure he died at Stiles,VanBuren,Ia. which is right at the border with Mo. and was probably buried in a cem. in mo. Hope this will help on some data. CL'
