Family Plan: 1908

Submitted by Joe Manning on Wed, 05/07/2008 - 4:37pm.

This is Joe Manning. Pamento was actually James Parmenter (or Permenter) Benson. He was born in 1895 and died in 1972 in Chester, S.C. Brother Ray was Nicholas Ray Benson, born in 1900. In the 1930 census, James was listed as a loom fixer in a cotton mill in Chester. Both brothers were unmarried and lived with their widowed mother.

[Fascinating as usual. But what happened to the cow? - Dave]
