| Albert Lea Pilgrim Robert Benson passes away |
| Our Defending Circle is broken. It is a Circle of Brotherhood. We have built a great fraternal society upon the precepts of Purity, Aid and Progress, and have seen in it the realization of our goal. We placed each member in this Defending Circle so it would shield those within. Only yesterday we let our thoughts dwell on that Circle, and our hearts felt pride and exaltation, but today the Circle is broken and we stand helpless in the presence of death.... It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I inform you of the passing of Albert Lea Pilgrim Bob Benson. Robert Benson, 82, of Albert Lea, Minnesota passed away with family by his side at St. Mary’s Campus Mayo Clinic in Rochester on Friday, July 31, 2020. A public drive through visitation will be from 10am – 12 noon, Thursday, August 6 at the Bonnerup Funeral Home of Albert Lea. Family will hold a private service and committal service later.
