Volume III Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928 Greenup Co. In 1849 Mr. Bennett married Miss Sarah Ann Snodgrass, who was born December 12, 1839, in Harrisonville, Ohio, and was of Irish lineage. She was a daughter of John and Hannah (Titus) Snodgrass, the former a Virginian and the latter a native of the Buckeye state. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were the parents of eight children: Joseph Bentley of this review; Elizabeth, who died when a child of three; Ruby Jane, who died at the age of six years; Mary Hannah, who married John Merrill, of Greenup county; Lucinda, who wedded Thomas Smith and is deceased; Isabell, who became the wife of W. B. Secrest, of Greenup county; Emily L., who first married George Wine and after his death became Ms. Frank B. Bennett; and Sallie A., who wedded Everett Taylor of Greenup. Joseph B.

Wadsworth, special judge of the Greenup circuit court, on the 30th of August, 1878, rating high in his examination, and remained at Bennett’s Mills until 1880, when he located in Greenup.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of county attorney in 1882 and 1886, in each instance being defeated by a small majority. In 1896 he was nominated and elected judge of Greenup county and served continuously for eight years, dispensing justice with an even hand. In 1900 he was chosen a member of the republican state central committee from the ninth Kentucky district and in 1904 was again selected for that position.

He introduced in congress the National Tribune bill, with the provisions of which all ex-soldiers are familiar, and owing to his indefatigable efforts appropriations were made for the construction of locks and dams in the Tug and Louisa forks of the Big Sandy river. He improved the mail service in his district and sponsored other legislation of value, always regarding an office as a trust given him by the people and exerting his influence to carry out the will of his constituents. He never used his talents unworthily nor supported a dishonorable cause and he rendered to his district and to the nation the highest order of public service. Soon after entering upon his duties as congressman Mr. Bennett was tendered a reception by the Kentucky Republican Club of Washington and on that occasion made a notable speech, which was later printed in full in the Leader, attracting much favorable comment. After his retirement from public office Judge Bennett returned to Greenup and there spent the remainder of his life, devoting his attention to the practice of law. Like all men who have achieved access in the best sense of the term, he was a tireless worker and notwithstanding the breadth and exactness of his legal learning and his facility in applying the same, he was never known to present a case before court or jury without preparation as thorough as time and means rendered possible. He was a member of the legal advisory board of Greenup county during the World war and his clientele was extensive and important. He was identified with the Masonic order, belonging to Greenup Lodge, No. 89, F. & A. M.; Greenup Chapter, No. 132, R. A. M.; Ashland Commandery, K. T.; and El Hasa Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He belonged to the Christian church and conscientiously followed its teachings.

The beauty of his character and his rare gifts made him universally admired and esteemed and his memory is enshrined in the hearts of all who knew him. At Greenup, Kentucky, August 30, 1883, was solemnized the marriage of Joseph B. Bennett and Miss Annie Louise Mytinger and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. P. Pinkerton.

He fought for the Union during the Civil war and his demise occurred at Greenup, October 16, 1908. He was a son of Charles and Eliza Elinor (Newham) Mytinger, a grandson of James M. and Catherine E. (Campbell) Mytinger. The family originated in Suabia, Bavaria. Mytinger, a railroad station between Ausburg and Donaworth, bears the name of the ancestral estate, and on their coat-of-arms were inscribed the dates 1470, 1851, 1618 and 1671.

JOSEPH KINKEAD SUMRALL – Sumrall, Blackburn, McCreary, Hannegan, Lackland, Lyon, Moore, Clark, Dobyus, Harrod 11422 Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume III – Battle – Perrin – Kniffin, 4th ed., 1885. Boyle Co. HON. JOSEPH KINKEAD SUMRALL was born November 16, 1835, in Mason County, Ky., where he grew to manhood. In 1853 he entered Centre College at Danville, and graduated with second honors in the famous class of 1857, many of whom became noted in after years, especially Senator Blackburn and Gov. McCreary. In 1858 he commenced reading law in St. Louis, Mo., with Hon. Ed. A. Hannegan; received license as attorney from Judge Lackland in 1859, and practiced in that city with success until the commencement of the late war. By some fatality he was present and was captured with the forces at Camp Jackson, at St. Louis, and was paroled by Gen. Lyon but never exchanged. In 1862, refusing to take the unconstitutional oath required of attorneys to further practice law in St. Louis, he located at Maysville, Ky., where he was eminently successful in the practice of his profession, amid one of the strong bars of the commonwealth. During his stay in Maysville he served eight years as county judge, and was also attorney for the Maysville & Lexington Railroad. His health becoming impaired from arduous professional work, in 1875 he purchased and located in Blithewood, the old family homestead of Mr. Collins C. Moore, three and one-half miles northwest of Danville, Boyle County, on the Harrodsburg pike, where he has since resided. His father, Joseph K. Sumrall, was born in Scotland, removed with his parents in childhood to America, located at Pittsburg, where he was reared, engaged in merchandising at Philadelphia, and was early a merchant at Maysville, Ky. He was a zealous Presbyterian, a prominent Democrat, and died in 1844 at the age of sixty-three years. He married Susan, daughter of Benjamin S. Clark of May’s Lick, Ky. (died August 19, 1884, at Fulton, Mo., aged ninety years), and from their union sprang Mary K., Benjamin C., John T., William A., Daniel C., Julia P. (all deceased), Mrs. Elizabeth V. (wife of Maj. Dobyus, of Fulton, Mo.), Sarah J. and Joseph K., subject of this memoir. February 14, 1866, Judge Sumrall married Miss Bettie B., daughter of Collins C. and Mary E. (Robertson) Moore, of Boyle County (born January 11, 1842), and their union has been blessed by the birth of William Lawson, Collins Moore, and Lilian C. Judge Sumrall still practices law to some extent, and is at present attorney for the Mercer National Bank of Harrodsburg, of which he is a stockholder. He is now living in the retirement of his farm, having 400 acres of finely improved and very productive land, on which he raises corn, hemp, wheat, and blue-grass for grazing. This is a portion of the original Harrod tract of land, on which there still remain evidences of the location of Harrod’s Station, and also his famous spring of pure water. The Judge has been deacon of the Presbyterian Church South, for nearly twenty years. He is an Ancient Odd Fellow, and in politics is a Democrat. Judge Sumrall also during his arduous work at the bar was the author and compiler of a large digest of general and statutory law, used by him in his professional work as a hand and brief book, which would cover, if published, 1,500 pages of closely printed law matter, but he has never yet given it to the profession by publication. He did not do the work for publication, but for his own use in his professional labors, and thereby much abridged and simplified it. He was also the originator of the system, as far as can be learned, in Kentucky, and compiler and draughtsman of the laws regulating the almshouse system of his native county, Mason. These laws were enacted by the Kentucky Legislature, and will be found in the acts of Assembly, 1870-71. It would be creditable to the whole State if this Mason County plan of almshouse should hereafter be adopted instead of the present poor law and poorhouse system. It is no crime to be poor, unable to maintain oneself or family, as one might conclude after perusal of the general laws in Kentucky on reference to the poor and poorhouses as designated by statute.
