Family folklore handed down.. Benjamin and his brother engaged in a friendly foot race. The physical stress caused breathing problems that resulted in his death. His wife, Rachel, gathered the children, moved west in a covered wagon, to Lincoln county Kansas, where she raised her children. She acquired, along with her son, Ernest, several parcels of land. (As indicated in courthouse records). Her son, Everett, married and moved to near Fairview, Ok. Truman died and is buried in the Lincoln cemetery. Other children moved to Hamilton, Mo. area, to settle down ...and get away from the harsh conditions in Kansas, both weather and Wild West lawlessness . Again, family lore handed down.
