  • Notes 
    • In the 1870 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Benjamin resides with his wife, Alice, in McComb, Blanchard Twp. where he is a farmer.

      In the 1880 Franklin County, Kansas Census, Benjamin and his wife and children (all three of whom were born in Kansas indicating that Benjamin had relocated there by 1873), Theodore, Ada E., and David, reside in Cutler Twp. where Benjamin is a farmer.

      In the Portrait and Biographical Album of Hillsdale Co., Michigan, 1888, on page 433, reference is made to Alice Jones, daughter of Levi and Melinda (Oliver) Jones, as the wife of Benjamin Mathias, at that time residing "near Ottawa, KS".

      In the 1900 Franklin County, Kansas Census, Benjamin and Alice and their children reside in Ottawa Twp. and Benjamin is a farmer.

      Benjamin's obituary from the 12 December 1922 Ottawa Herald (Franklin County, Kansas) is the following:

      "Mathias: - The remains of B.F. Mathias, who died yesterday in Burlington, will be brought to Ottawa tomorrow for burial. A short service is to be held tomorrow morning from the home of a son, Ed Mathias, and then the funeral party will come here overland. Rev. W. A. Elliott is to conduct services from the First Baptist church at 2 o'clock. Burial will be in Highland cemetery."
