MARION – Elder Ben H. Blevins, age 83, died Sunday,
March 12, 2006, at Smyth County Community Hospital.
He was born Oct. 18, 1922, in Crumpler, W.Va., the

preceded in death by one grandchild, Julie Blevins

In 1958, he and his brother-in-law, Blaine Dancy,

in Honaker. He was a World War II U.S. Army veteran
and front line soldier, landing at Normandy, and
fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded in
action at the battle for the Remagen Bridge, when the

another soldier stayed behind to dig children out of a
bombed orphanage.
