recollections from Ethel:
They were loving parents; they were both very young when they married. It was a love marriage-not arranged as some were in those days in Europe. My mother, God rest her soul, was a hard-working lady…milking her cow, making sweet butter, and cooking bread over a coal stove.
My father was called “Old Reliable Ben”. He never missed being notified or called when his lodge needed him for a birth, death, or any important occasion. He was a lodge member of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias -you name it- he belonged.
His picture framing business was on Cherry St. in Chattanooga. He was such a handsome man and highly respected, but he was not a good businessman, he often gave his wares away. Whenever his brothers, as he called them, needed a frame for graduation or weddings or whatever they would go to “Old Reliable” who invariably would not charge them for his work. He were a kind caring man who was much loved by his community
