Aurora labeled this “Grandpa Benson”, but I don’t know who he is or what his relationship is to Aurora. She had no relatives named Benson. One possibility is that he is Oscar Sven Benson, who lived in Iron County and was born in Sweden in 1879. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1896 and married a woman named Alma. They had thirteen children, some of which were Aurora’s age.
