My father, Woodrow Wilson Benedict, "Woody" brought our family from Council Bluffs Iowa to Mountain Home, Arkansas in 1949. At the time of my mother's death in 1960, Dad acquired burial plots in Baxter Memorial Gardens in Mountain Home. However, after his death his cremated remains were buried here in Manila.
Woodrow Wilson Benedict was born March 15, 1913 in Creston, Iowa, the son of Charles Leroy Benedict and Mary Emma Kingery Benedict. He married Cora Lillian Orr on March 7, 1936. They became the parents of four children; Danny Lee Benedict, David Woodrow Benedict, Cora Dianne Benedict and Donald Wayne Benedict.
Woody's work as a carpenter on Bull Shoals Dam in Arkansas was just one of many large projects all across the country on which he worked during his long career. Another one was the Flaming Gorge Dam near Manila.
He passed away March 21, 2001 in Anaheim, California.
His memorial in Arkansas, however, is a cenotaph, # 32058191. His actual burial site is this one in Manila, Utah,alongside the grave of my stepmother, Dorothy Galarda Benedict, whom dad married in 1960 in Mountain Home, Arkansas. They remained married until her passing.
