That is most of what the public record yet tells us. Benjamin A. Hersey was a person who walked this town, not a name on a list, with a life still largely unrecovered. We will not invent the rest. If you are descended from Benjamin's family, you can add a source, a correction, or a memory. Until then, their name is kept here, with respect.

The stone is still there.
