Tribute of Respect by daughter Maggie Ella, 26 Oct 1901:
Dedicated to the memory of our devoted father, Benjamin J. Stogner who died August 13, 1901. It has been only about two months ago since God summoned our dear father to leave his earthly home and come up and live with Him in paradise. Our hearts are still bleeding from the deep wounds inflicted by the cycle of death and never will we cease sorrowing for one sainted dead........And now the last tribute we can pay him is to go to his grave and place flowers on it with the vision of his lovely form as green in our memory as on the day the cold earth bid our beloved father from us and look on and realize that he is sleeping there.
