Jacob Bennett, father of Judge C. Bennett
and Col. J. F. Bennett of Las Cruces, recently
died at his home in Marysville, Missouri, at the
ripe old age of ninety-two years. The following
short biography is clipped from the Rio Grande
Republican; Though Mr. Bennett was an old
line democrat and v/as never known to vote any
other ticket during his life, he was a strong
Union man. Three of his sons were in the union
army; . V. Bennett was captain in a Minnesota
regiment; Cornelius Bennett, quartermaster in
the eighth Iowa cavalry; and Col. J. R. Bennett
was lieutenant-colonel, assistant adjutant-gen-
eral of U. S. volunteers. Mr. Jacob Bennett in
the early days of 1874 when the stage line ex-
tended from Kansas City to California made the
trip together with his wife to Las Cruces, where
they lived for several months, after which time
they removed to Silver City. Their object was
to visit their children and after a stay of two
years returned to their home at Maysville.
