Benton Fulton Fry died in Paris, Lamar Co, at the Sanitarium of Paris. His usual address was Roxton in Lamar Co. He was born 19 Sep 1894 and died 18 Aug 1960. He was married; a grocerman. His father's name Bruce Fry; his mother Pearl Eagelton. He had hypertension and arteriosclerotic heart disease but died of a drug sensitivity. He was buried Restland Cemetery in Roxton.

The Sanitarium of Paris was not just a hospital for tubercular patients as the name suggests, but seems to have been a general hospital. It is now the McCuistion Hospital and was found in 1914 by Dr. L.P. McCuistion (1869-1947). I found online a postcard picture of the Hospital, probably taken soon after it's completion.
