OTTERVILLE TOWNSHIP - 1883
"HENRY BENTE, originally from Germany, was born in 1822. His father, Andy Bente, also a native of that country, was born about 1792, and took for his wife Miss Amelia Toke, who bore him ten children, of whom Henry is the third child.
Emigrating to the United States in 1853, he settled in Ohio, and on December 6, 1857, was married to Miss Dorate Copp, whose parents died when she was but a child.
They have had eight children: Christopher H., born July 4th, 1858; W. Abner, born October 10th, 1860; John M., born November 10th, 1862; Jeremiah, born September 20th, 1864; Henry, born July 8th, 1866; George, born November 12, 1870 ; Minnie, born January 12th, 1873, and Charlie born in 1876.
In 1858, Mr. Bente came to Missouri and settled in Pettis county, removing thence to Cooper county, in 1863, and here he has since lived. He is now actively engaged in farming, and stock raising, and has under his control about 200 acres of land. He is a democrat.
His eldest son, Christopher, is attending the Cumberland Presbyterian college, at Wadesburgh, Pennsylvania, preparing himself for the ministry."
