About Albert Oscar Bennett

SEWELL E. BENNETT, has been a resident of Garden county since 1908, and developed and improved one of the excellent farm properties of the county, consisting of three hundred and twenty acres situated about nine miles from Lisco. Mr. Bennett is one of the substantial citizens of Garden county and his career has been one of signal industry.

Mr. Bennett was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, May 12, 1849. His father, George W. Bennett, was born at Little Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1821, and was but six months old when his parents became pioneer settlers in Guernsey county, Ohio. The father took up a pre-emption claim of one hundred and sixty acres and reclaimed the forest, making it into a productive farm. On this old homestead his parents passed the remainder of their lives, his father having attained the patriarchal age of ninety-seven years. George W. Bennett was reared and educated in Guernsey county, and in 1852, when twenty-six years of age, he removed to Monroe county, Ohio, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits and where he passed the remainder of his useful life, being seventy-one years of age at the time of his death. His wife, whose maiden name was Olive Payne, was born in Vermont and was a child at the time of her parents’ removal to Ohio, where she was reared and educated and where she was for two years engaged in teaching school at Little Point Pleasant, Guernsey county, prior to her marriage. Mrs. Bennett died in November, 1920, at her home.

Sewell E. Bennett was reared in Monroe county, Ohio, and after attending public school at Malaga, he was a student for one term in the normal school at Hopedale, Ohio. After that he taught school one term, at Boston, Ohio, and the following summer he assisted his father on the home farm. He then entered Hiram college, where General James A. Garfield and many other distinguished men were graduated, and of which General Garfield was for a time president many years prior to his election to the presidency of the United States. In this institution Mr. Bennett continued his studies one term, and for one year engaged in farming in Monroe county, Ohio, and four years in Guernsey county. He then, in 1881, removed to Iowa and became a farmer in Adair county, where he remained for twenty-five years. From Iowa Mr. Bennet returned to Ohio, but two years later he again responded to the call of the west, by coming to Nebraska, in 1908, and taking up the homestead on which he has since resided and upon which he has developed a prosperous enterprise in diversified agriculture and the raising of hogs, cattle and horses. He is a man of broad views, is a Republican in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Seventh Day Adventist church.

On February 25, 1875, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Bennett and Miss Rachel Naylor, who was born and reared in Ohio, a daughter of Louis and Rachel (Bailey) Naylor, the former a native of Vermont and the latter of Ohio. Louis Naylor was born in 1819, and was about four years old at the time of his parents’ removal to Ohio, and the greater part of his active life was devoted to work at the carpenter’s trade, in connection with which he became a successful contractor and builder. He died at the age of eighty-seven years, in Belmont county, Ohio, and his widow died in January, 1919, at the venerable old age of ninety-seven years.

There were the following children in the Bennett family:

Roy L., who resides in Morrill county, Nebraska, is a widower and has two children;

Albert Oscar and his wife reside in Morrill county, and they have seven children;

Mrs. Lena Patrick, of Lisco, Garden county, has two children; and

Mrs. Belva L. Carrigan, of Lisco, has one child.
