Benjamin died in a hospital in Keokuk,IA, shortly after 15th Michigan Infantry participated in the battle of Shiloh. I know that many injured in that battle were put on river boats and shiped up river to Kiokuk, which had several Military Hospitals. I do not know how he was inured. It was not long after he entered the war.
