Son of William Bennett and Susan Griffin. Married Anne Henry Stark 16 AUG 1866 in Taylor County, West Virginia.

Mr. A. J. (sic) Bennett passed peacefully away at his residence here on the afternoon of the tenth and his remains were carried to their last resting place in Harmony Grove cemetery on the following day. Mr. Bennett was a victim of that dread disease consumption, and the many months had been gradually fading away, and when the summons came, it found him ready. He often talked calmly of his approaching death, and he told us once that aside from his grief at leaving his family he had no regrets. A short time before his death he summoned his friends to his side and bid them a last farewell, then calmly and peacefully resigned himself to the coming of the pitying angel who was to give him rest.
The parting was over, the last words said,
And the pilgrim lay on his dying bed,
Calm and serene;
Awaiting the shadows, and Israel's wing
To lift from his brow the serpent's sting.
No regrets had he, no fear no dread
As he thought of him who sweetly said,
I will "give thee rest;"
So with pale hands folded, the shadows fell,
The angel came and all was well.
