ASA B. PENNOCK. This old settler and prominent citizen of Barry County, is widely and favorably known for the part he has borne in the agricultural affairs of this section, and his connection with other interests. He owns three hundred and ninety-four acres of land in Barry Township, and considerable valuable property in the town of Hastings, as well as a home in Hickory Corners, and may well be considered a prosperous man.
The parents of our subject were Daniel and Lucy (Benjamin) Pennock, natives of Vermont, who for some years made their home in New York and died there early in the '30's. The father was a carpenter, a reliable workman, and they were numbered among the useful and respected members of society. Their son, Asa B., was born in Allegany County, N. Y., July 30, 1830, and was the youngest of eight children. Upon the death of his parents he was taken into the family of Isaac Tolles, whom he accompanied to Michigan about 1842. A settlement was made in Barry Township, Barry County, within the bounds of which there were but a few homes established. Young Pennock remained with his benefactor until he was nineteen years old, and then began working as a farm hand at $11 per months.
After spending four years at work by the month Mr. Pennock bargained for eighty acres of land, and indebtedness on which he paid off by doing various jobs, among them being rail-splitting at fifty cents per
hundred, taking store bills for his pay. He worked in this way four or five years and in 1855 began work on the land he had bought. It was heavily timbered and in a wild condition. A half-roof log shanty was built, into which Mr. Pennock removed with his young bride, and together they built up a home of comfort and even luxury. In place of the log shanty now stands a large, handsome frame house, and many barns and other outbuildings are conveniently disposed about it.
For many years Mr. Pennock bought and sold stock, and was one of the most prominent dealers in this section. During the war he delt extensively in cattle, and has since handled horses largely. For nearly two years he was engaged in the mercantile business at Hickory Corners, and for a quarter of a century he has been an auctioneer and during the time has presided at nearly three hundred public sales. He is a No. 1 auctioneer, having the ready wit, which keeps up the life of a sale and disposes of goods to advantage by increasing the good humor of the buyers and pointing out to them the merits of the carious articles. Mr. Pennock started out in life with a pair of yearling steers, which he received from the man who reared him, and the success which he has earned by industry, perseverance and thrift is rejoiced in by all that know him. During his pioneer days he manufactured oak staves, which he hauled to Battle Creek with an ox-team, selling them there for $3 per thousand. He also drew the lumber for his barn from the pineries, twenty miles northwest of his place, with oxen.
In 1855 Mr. Pennock was married to Miss Elvira Rose, an estimable and capable woman, who was born in Vermont in 1826. To them have been born a son and daughter; Ellen, wife of Alonzo Cadwallader, a lawyer in Ha Hastings; and Anson, a farmer in Barry Township. Mr. Pennock has been Township Supervisor, and is now President of the Barry County Agricultural Society. His political allegiance is given to the Republican Party, and his sympathy and support to every movement which he believes wise and beneficial.

Maj. Benjamin rebuilt the mills near the foot of the falls and kept them up for many years. He was always a farmer, and a man of great energy. He was the major of the state militia, and went with his command to Plattsburgh in September, 1814, but did not reach that place until after the battle had been fought, on Sunday, September 11, 1814, and a signal victory won. In religion he was a Congregationalist, and a member of that church. In politics he was an earnest worker in the "Old Line Whig" party, and prominent in town affairs. Maj.

Mr. BENJAMIN was a constant and regular attendant at the Congregational church, began in politics with the Whig party, joined the ranks of the Republican party at its organization, and was in every respect an honest, upright, and respected citizen. He represented Berlin in the state legislature and held other offices of responsibility and trust in his town. He died October 4, 1884. His wife died in December, 1873. Chauncey E. BENJAMIN, born February 1, 1829, married Lucy J. STANWOOD, January 22, 1846, and resides in Malden, Mass., where he is engaged in the express business, and employs sixteen men and twenty six horses.
