PORT DEPOSIT — Dr. Clarence Benson was a popular doctor who practiced in Port Deposit for much of the 20th century. He was 83 when he died at his home in Port Deposit on Sept. 1, 1970. He came to the Cecil County town in 1911 to practice medicine and continued until his retirement in May 1969. At one time, he was the chief of staff of the Harford Memorial Hospital in Havre de Grace. Born in Cockeysville, he graduated from the University of Maryland Medical School in 1909. He then went to New York City for two years of graduate training before opening his office in Port Deposit.
