Black and white photograph of the Charles B. Bennett (b. June 20th, 1858, Sharon, CT) and Julia A. Myers (b. July 20th, 1856, Sheffield) house. The couple married on May 4th, 1879 and as of 1905 had two children, Mary (b. March 30th, 1890) and Charles (b. April 10th, 1897) both born in Norfolk, CT. The family moved to Indian Hollow in 1902. Charles' brother, John Henry (b. November 13th, 1835, Amenia, NY) lived with the Bennett's most of the time. The house was built by Fred Fowler and the Bennett's bought the home from Mrs. Charles Lewis, who acquired it from 'Mr. Goodhue,' who acquired it from 'Mr. Fisk,' who acquired it from Bushrod Fisk. According to Rev. Moody, Mr. B.W. Fisk (Bushrod?) lived in the house 'above the one burned' and that 'Nathaniel Miller lived there.' There were three large rocks in the pasture where Christian Angell built 'the first log house.' As of 1905, the house sat on 40 acres of land and the Bennett's kept two horses, two cows, and 150 hens. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 54, plate II, #11.
