(43) Benjamin Franklin Ladd, II, of Brookville, son of Thomas M. (29) and Lucy E. Ladd, their youngest son. Was born at the old Ladd home August 28, 1858 and spent almost his entire life there on the farm. He was one of the grandest old men that one could ever hope to meet - not only in his retiring years but throughout his entire life he was of that noble character. His characteristics and traits were the kind that one would be proud to follow. He was known to every one for miles around as "Uncle Ben," and they loved him as their own kin. He was typical of the "Old South," hospitable, broadminded and humorous. His manners were those of a Chesterfield - gallant and chivalrous. He was a constant attendant of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, a member for about 70 years, the Church at which he was buried December 19, 1947.
