Eloise E. Benson, daughter of Almira E. Benson, was born near Washington, in Washington county, Iowa, July 14, 1861. She grew to young womanhood here, moving with her parents to Page county, Iowa, in the spring of 1880. She was united in marriage to Levi Davis on December 31, 1891, who passed away on December 1, 1901. She was again married to George Marsell March 25, 1906.

Her parents with four sisters and four brothers preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn her passing one sister, Mrs Willis Brooks of New Market, and three brothers, John Benson of Appelton City, Mo, Lee of St Joseph, Mo, and George of Hemit, Calif.
She was a kid and faithful wife taking almost the entire care of her husbands in their final sickness; always ready to lend a helping hand to all in times of sorrow or sickness as long as her health permitted.
She was united with the Methodist church in her girlhood and attended church as long as she was able.
Besides her brothers and sister she is survived by several nieces and nephews and cousins with many friends.
