Kenneth Dale Bennett, son of William Harrison and Alma Johanna (Peterson) Bennett, was born July 27, 1923 at Elgin, NE. He lived in the Elgin-Neligh area most of his childhood, except for a short time spent in Oregon in the mid 1930's. After his mother's passing in 1935, the family moved to Elgin where he attended Elgin Public Schools, graduating in 1941. He enlisted in the US Navy in July of 1941 and served six years, 18 months on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger. On March 23, 1947, Kenneth married Jerrene Joyce Jillson at the Presbyterian Church in Elgin, NE. The couple lived near Pensacola, FL for the last five months of Kenneth's naval service, before returning to Elgin, NE where he worked as a welder at Bennett Implement for six years, after which he accepted a position as an agent for Mobil Oil Company in Elgin. He worked for Mobil for 30 years before it was purchased by Kumm Gas Co. in 1984, and continued working for them until retirement. He continued living in Elgin until his health required him to move to the Samaritan Estates Assisted Living in Albion, NE, in December 2012, and later to The Waterford at Roxbury Park Assisted Living in Omaha, NE in March 2014. Kenneth was active in the Elgin community, serving on city council, Elgin Volunteer Fire Dept. for 35 years, and West Cedar Valley Cemetery Board.

He enjoyed golfing, hunting, shooting trap and black powder, competing many times at the Cornhusker State Games and other competitions.
