Solomon Bentley depart this life, in the 82d year of his age, respected and honored by a large circle of friends. Major Bentley was born in Frederick County, in the State of Maryland, July, 1783. In 1807, he moved to and was raised in Virginia. Came West, and settled in the town of St. Clairsville, in and near which town he spent the remainder of his long and useful life. He was by trade a blacksmith, and for many years worked at his trade in that town. In 1812, shortly after the disgraceful, and disastrous surrender of Gen. Hull, he entered the army as Captain, in command of a company of volunteers. While in the service he was appointed Major, and held a Major’s commission when he was honorably discharged. In 1822, and twice thereafter he was elected Sheriff, and once Auditor of Belmont County. In 1833, and again in 1834 he was elected to represent Belmont County in the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, and in 1846 he was appointed member of the Board of Equalization of the State by the General Assembly. (Tribute follows at length) He was three times married, and a few months before his death he followed to the grave the remains of his third and last wife. He left to survive him two sons and two daughters, all of whom are useful members of society. /
