Nyle Benedict

November 11, 1909 - July 30, 1981

Nyle Benedict was a son of William E. and Susanna (nee Davis) Benedict.  William E. Benedict was the oldest son of Sanford W. Benedict, who in turn was the oldest son of Adonijah Benedict.  Therefore, Nyle E. Benedict was a great grandson to Adonijah Benedict, a pioneer of York Township and a Civil War veteran.  Likewise, he was a brother to Lulu Kronberger, Marie Benedict, and Morvin Benedict who are also buried in York Center Cemetery.  His wife was Aura (nee Bradbury) Benedict.  Nyle lived all of his life as a farmer and cheese maker in York Township.  Nyle and Aura Benedict lived for many years at the original Sanford Benedict homestead located on Heath Road between County Highway K and Cardinal Avenue in Section 9 of York Township.[cemeteries/footer_gif.html]
