NOTE: This marriage was entered into the FAMILY BIBLE of James Jones Bennett and Minerva Frances Hayes Bennett. My photo-shopped copy of those two Bible pages are posted on this Findagrave Memorial. I had to trace write over some things for they were so faded; and so when you look at the pages you will see my hand tracing. (It was the best I could do. [D.H.T.])

married Lydia Ellen Salsberry

NOTE: The Salsberry Family were neighbors of the Bennett Family in Oklahoma and had neighboring farms, went to the same Rosedale Church of Christ, and Rosedale School.

George William Bennett (1911-2000).

After the death of William Henry Bennett, Lydia remarried to Jesse Harold Whitcomb on 13 Jul 1913 in Woodward County, Oklahoma.

Death and burial--

Location of burial is "best guess" that he is laid to rest in the same cemetery as his parents and first wife.

(NOTE--Please submit a findagrave edit if there is other death and burial info available.)
