that  now  look  like  trash  piles. — Rhea  Kuykendall.

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.
