William Ryston Bennett (Called Dock) was born in the original Bennett cabin in Jackson County, Kansas, Oct. 21, 1858. On March 22, 1886, he married Hattie Turner, also of Jackson County. They first lived on one of his father's farms near his birthplace, then he bought a farm on Soldier Creek, the northeast quarter of the section on which the original Bennett farm was located. There he later built a store, and for many years was a country merchant and Postmaster of the postoffice in his store, called Carl. They had no children but took the children of his brother George, after their mother's death, and raised them in their home. He died Nov. 22, 1951, she died Sept. 17, 1956, and both are buried in the Olive Hill cemetery.

From "The Bennett Book," by John A. Shields, privately published April 16, 1956*, reprinted in September, 2021.

*That is the date of the Author's Foreword, but may have been printed later if Hattie's death date is correct.
