Benjamin also has a grave in Oakland Cemetery, Centerville, Iowa, next to his wife, Mary Campbell Adamson, and his son, John H. L. Adamson. I have no proof, but I believe that this grave holds his remains, and the Iowa grave is a cenotaph.

Benjamin Adamson, with whom most of our old settlers were acquainted, died at his residence in Saratoga last Friday night, and was buried at Iuka on Sunday. "Uncle Ben," as he was familiarly known, was a member of the 38th Iowa Regiment in the late war, and was buried by Copeland-Goodwin Post, G.A.R. of this place, of which he was a member.
