   WILLIAM C. BENNETT, nurseryman and farmer, was born in Columbiana County,
Ohio, in 1844, and is one of live living children in a family of seven born to
Macabus and Eleanor (Wishard) Bennett. His father dying in 1853, Mrs. Bennett,
with the remainder of the family, removed to Greene County, Ind., in 1854, and
here William C. was principally raised and educated. At sixteen years of age, he
began for himself, and his labors have met with deserved success. He now owns
420 acres of land and one of the best nurseries in Indiana. His stock is of the
best, and is carefully selected. It consists of the best and hardiest varieties
of trees, which, being grown in the soil of Greene County, renders the stock
much more desirable for people living in Southern Indiana than that furnished by
foreign nurseries. Mr. Bennett is one of the reliable men of the county, and is
universally respected as an honorable citizen. He married Miss Jennie B.
Phillips in 1877, and three children have been born to them—Effie A., Angie L.
and Cora M.
