I am debating whether this Find A Grave memorial for the Oak Grove Cemetery in Bath, ME is Ben’s.  Maine is his home state, but the year of birth on the records vary - the draft cards put it 1880 and the SSN index has 1881 & 1882, I didn't find anything with 1879, 1880 – I went with 1881 until proven otherwise.
