Subject: Re: [WIGEN] Bennet Valley?
There was a Bennett also known as Bennett Siding in Douglas County,
according to "Wisconsin: It's Territorial and Statehood Post Offices"
(published by the WI postal history society). Bennett was a post
office from 1892 to 1984, when it was discontinued and mail service
transferred to Solon Springs. It was located in Section 22 in the
township of Bennett. The area is hilly so it could have been thought
of as Bennett Valley, maybe?
Then in Cemetery Locations in Wisconsin (Origins, Janesville WI,
c1999) I found Bennett cemetery is in Section 22NW, on Co L west of
Bennett. This may be where the gentleman's grandfather is buried?
