Robert Denning was born in Pennsylvania and after attaining manhood was married in Ohio to Susan Brown, a native of Nova Scotia. They began housekeeping near Mt. Cory, Ohio, from which place they came in 1871 to Dunn County, Wis. Mr. Denning bought land from the Fox River Company in Section 13, town of Weston, the tract being wild and covered with heavy timber, and there were no roads and but few settlers. He built a log dwelling and began clearing his place that winter. In the harvest season he went west to work on farms and earn money on which to support his family, and as he found time and opportunity he proceeded with the development of his own farm. He was an active and useful man in the community, helping new settlers as they came in, and he served for several years as a member of the town board, helping to decide on the building of roads and schools.
His death occurred on the farm, Jan. 21, 1895; his wife died Oct. 7,1905. They had seven children, all of whom now living, namely: Simeon, Phineas (an invalid who resides with his sister, Mrs.Martha Anderson), Thomas B., Lenora, Martha, Hulda, and Susan.
