Harold (Bud) Benson

They first lived in a sod house. In 1883, they built a two story home. The original house frame, now remodeled, is occupied by his great grandson and family.

Emory plowed government land near May City for $1.00 an acre. He took the money he earned and built the barn that still is in use.

After Emory retired, his son Clarence farmed the land. Eventually it was farmed by Clarence's son, Harold Logan Benson. Today it is farmed by Harold James (Bud) Benson. Harold J. and his family now live on this Osceola County Century Farm.
