Daniel Bench
Date: c. 1842 |
| Daniel Bench
is one of the leading farmers of the progressive agricultural
region of Johnson County, Ark., and as he was born in
the State of Ohio he possesses many of the characteristics
of the natives of that State, among which may be mentioned
pluck, perseverance, intelligence and honesty. He was
taken from that State when an infant, and was reared to
manhood in Indiana and Missouri, coming to Johnson County,
Ark., in 1842, settling on a piece of land in this township
which he improved and cleared. Here he remained hard at
work until the bursting of the war cloud which had for
so long a time hovered over the country, when he took
his family and moved into the Indian Territory (the Choctaw
Nation), where he remained until the close of the war.
He returned to Arkansas about one year later, sold his
property and purchased a place at Mulberry and this farm
continued to cultivate for twelve years. He then sold
out and came to his former place and purchased 160 acres
of land to which he has since added from time to time
until he is now the owner of 300 acres and has 110 under
cultivation. His principal crops are cotton and corn,
and this year he has devoted twenty acres to cotton which
promises well. His buildings are all in excellent condition,
and as he was reared to the work which he is now following
be thoroughly understands every detail of the work and
has been successful. He was born in 1825 and in 1844 was
married to Miss Martha A. Prim by whom he has become the
father of eleven children. He is a man who brings, tact,
energy and skill to his assistance in the conduct of his
property and as a result is far more successful than many
of his neighbors. He is liberal in his contributions to
public affairs and is well preserved in both mind and
body, notwithstanding the fact that he is sixty-five years
of age. |
