  LifeSketch	John Burnett Benton, was called “JB” and he was angusmcginty1 mcgintyangus@gmail.com mother’s father, and he was a farmer in Valley Park, Issaquenna County, Miss. He wore matching kacki slacks, shirt, and tie everyday. As a farmer! He died of a heart attack at the young age of 47. He was also diabetic in an age when that was hard to control. His wife, Irma Eubanks Benton, was a nurse and even looked after the governor, or maybe he was a former governor by that time. She died of throat cancer in 74. Hope this helps
