About Watt Benfield

1900 census says born in 1892.

1930 census for his wife says her husband was in "U.S. Hospital" (I think).

Grave site says "North Carolina SGT. 304 SN. TN, World War I." This may refer to the 304th Infantry Regiment, which fought in Ardennes. (I don't know what "SN. TN." means.)
