1 CONC In several instances Benoni is found as John B. I believe he was actually 
1 CONC named John Benoni, but went by Benoni for most of his life. As there were 
1 CONC several other members of the family with the name John, it was probably 
1 CONC easier to differentiate by using his middle name.

1 CONT Ephraim and his brother James were the first white settlers in what was 
1 CONC to become the town of Thorp, Clark Co., Wisconsin. Ephraim was the first 
1 CONC chairman of Thorp Twp. He was it's first Postmaster when it was known as 
1 CONC North Fork.  In politics he was a Democrat, and very active. He was the 
1 CONC Vice Grand I.O.O.F. Ephraim entered 160 acres of land, 1872, on sections 
1 CONC 30 to 29, Withee Township, which now constitutes a part of the village of 
1 CONC Thorp. In 1880 he purchased another 151 acres of government land. He 
1 CONC built the first house in this place, which was a round-log cabin, 16 x 24 
1 CONC feet, all in one room. This bulding also served as a dry-goods and 
1 CONC grocery store, so Ephraim was therefore the first merchant of Thorp. "How 
1 CONC much this community owes him it is impossible to estimate, though it 
1 CONC would be a grateful task to trace his influence in his various characters 
1 CONC of husband and father, of neighbor and friend, to perpetuate his name and 
1 CONC emulate his virtues". Ephraim donated the land for the Thorp Cemetary, 
1 CONC and there you will find the final resting place of many of this family.

1 CONC James served during the Civil War with the 2nd Minnesota Infantry 
1 CONC Regiment. He never filed a pension application, though his wife Ida did 
1 CONC file for a widow's pension. James went with Ephraim to Wisconsin, 
1 CONC married, and had a family. In May of 1879 a Diphtheria Epidemic struck. 
1 CONC James and his wife lost four children at one time. Newspaper accounts of 
1 CONC that period quote that the Boardman clan had lost eleven members during 
1 CONC the epidemic. James purchased 160 acres of government land in Clark Co., 
1 CONC Wisconsin, in 1878. James was last heard from in a letter dated 13 Aug 
1 CONC 1892 in which he said he was going accross the Snake River, in Idaho. 
1 CONC This writer believes that James continued to live, somewhere to the west. 
1 CONC A similar person is found in the Stuart Precinct, Idaho Co., Idaho, in 
1 CONC the census of 1900. One J.H. Boardman, born Oct 1852 in Pennsylvania to 
1 CONC parents who were both born in New York. I will continue this avenue of 
1 CONC research.
