1881 Biographical History of Crawford County, Ohio
p.986

DR. CHARLES T. BENNER, physician and surgeon, New Washington; was born in Tiffin,
Ohio, July 29, 1856; he is a son of George and Susanna Zlise Benner, who were parents of
five children - Josephine, William, Augustus, Charles T., and John. Dr. Benner's youthful
days were passed in Tiffin going to school. He was for one year in the employ of Gray and
Stevenson, in Tiffin, and for a short time, clerked for his brother in the same place. In 1874,
he commenced the study of medicine, under the instruction of Kinnaman and Hershiser,
and, after a thorough study of the branches necessary, he entered the University of Wooster,
at Cleveland. After one term of lectures, in the spring of 1877, he began practice in New
Washington. Here he met with excellent success, and, the next winter, returned to college,
where he graduated. After his graduation, Dr. Benner returned to New Washington and
recommenced the practice of medicine. Jan. 8, 1880, he was united in marriage with Miss
Hennie C. Meschinger, daughter of John U. Meschinger, Esq., of Tiffin. Although yet a
young man, Dr. Benner, by his gentlemanly deportment, and the success with which he has
met obstinate cases, has won an excellent practice, and one that is as desirable as any
physician enjoys in Crawford Co. He is an enterprising young man, and a Democrat in
politics. He is widely known and highly respected throughout the county.
