===========================================================================

John N. Bennett, farmer, section 28, Sheridan Township, was born in New
York, June 15, 1842, and is a son of Elias and Annie M. (Vanderhoof)
Bennett, natives also of New York. They settled in that State and afterward
moved to Branch Co., Mich., where Mrs. B. died; her husband lives with his
son John.

The subject of this notice came to Michigan when 21 years of age, and was
engaged in farming in Branch County nine years. In the spring of 1872 he

Township, where he now resides and has about 50 acres under cultivation. He
was married in Branch County, Feb. 22, 1872, to Mary E. From, a native of
Pennsylvania, and they are the parents of five children: Anna M., Ida E.,
Martha A., Jonathan E. and Julie E.  In politics Mr. Bennett is a
Republican.
