Benjamin Franklin Griffith (19 Aug 1874 - 25 Feb 1925) was the son of George Griffith (1844 - 1903) and Narcissia E. Smith (1849 - 1902). The family was from Lawrence county, Ohio. Benjamin died in what seems to be a rather horrific accident while working in Boyd county, Kentucky. His brother Charles was the informant.

Benjamin's death certificate indicates that his right arm had been ripped off by a belt, his breast and back torn, and died as a result of shock and hemorrhaging.
