"Benjamin F. Meharg passed on February 16, 1886, and his remains repose in the Salem Cemetery. A compass and square are engraved on his tombstone, which is evidence that he was a member of the Masonic fraternity.
Benjamin F. Meharg has several grandchildren, great grand children and great great grand children living in Arkansas and other states including the Shannons, Shockleys, Vincents, Hatchers, Heaths, Stories, Vinsons and Morrises.
