Benjamin was a Railroad Engineer in Missouri and Illinois.
For several years (1907, 1909, 1911-1916, 1926, 1928, 1930), he would take a vacation trip by ship to Panama, leaving from and returning to New York City. Some years, he'd go alone. Often, he was accompanied by wife Minnie. In 1912, daughters Edith Torrey and Georgie Mudgett went along. From the "New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957" database at Ancestry.com [op.cit.] , we learn Benjamin and Minnie's dates and places of birth and current residence.
After Benjamin died, Minnie went on that cruise to Panama twice more (1933, 1939).
