I found the following in a book titled History of KY by William Elsey Connelley and E. M. Coulter, Vol 5, published 1922. I am not related and have no further information. "REGINALD V. BENNETT, principal of the Lindsay--Wilson Training School at Columbia, and a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is one of the scholarly men and earnest prelates of Kentucky, who both by precept and example, is exerting a strong influence for good on his generation. He was born at Ceralvo, Ohio County, Kentucky, March 9, 1885, a son of Sam P. Bennett and grandson of Timothy Bennett, who was born in Virginia in 1827 and died at Center-town, Ohio County, Kentucky, in 1908. Coming to Kentucky in young manhood, he settled in Ohio Coun-ty, developed a farm, was married to Miss Martha Tichenor, a native of the county and both rounded out their useful and honorable lives upon their farm. The Bennetts came to the American Colonies from Scotland and settled in Virginia. Sam P. Bennett was born near Rockport, Ohio County, Kentucky, and has spent his life in Ohio County with the exception of the six years he lived at Louisville, Kentucky. He has been an extensive farmer, and is still engaged in that calling, living on his fine farm at Narrows, Kentucky. While he was at Louis-ville he was in the employ of the Illinois Central Rail-road Company, but found that he preferred an agri-cultural life and so returned to Ohio County. While he has always voted the democratic ticket, he has not been active m politics. The Missionary Baptist Church holds his membership and he has always been a strong supporter of it. He is equally zealous as a Mason. His wife was Miss Naomi Shultz before her marriage. She was born near Hartford. Kentucky, in 1861, and died at Narrows, March 25, 1907. Their children were as follows: Clarence S., who is an electrical engineer of Port-land, Oregon, is with the General Electric Company; Reginald V., who was second in order of birth; Joseph B., who is a druggist of Cairo, Illinois; Arthur, who is chief engineer of the United States Ship-ping Board of New York City, is a veteran of the World war, in which he served as an engineer on transports and crossed the ocean fourteen times; Carl W., who is professor of agriculture at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is also a veteran of the World war, in which he served as a member of the Coast Artillery; and Roswell, who is now a student at the Kentucky State University at Lexington. During the World war he enlisted in the Aviation Corps, and after being trained was sent overseas to England, which he had just reached when the armistice was signed, so that he was not at the front. Mr. Bennett attended the rural schools of Ohio County and Vanderbilt Training School at Elkton, Ken-tucky, from which he was graduated in 1906. He then entered the Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tennessee, and was graduated therefrom in 1912 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Greek letter college fraternity, which is an honorary fraternity. In the meanwhile Mr. Bennett had begun teaching school, and was so engaged in Ohio County during 1904 and 1905. During 1906 and 1907 he was pro-fessor in the Vanderbilt Training School, and during 1908 and 1909 he taught in the Wilson Training School of Fayetteville, Tennessee. For the subsequent two years he was principal of the Franklin County High School in Tennessee. In 1912 Mr. Bennett joined the Louisville Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and was sent to Corydon, Kentucky, as pastor of the church of that denomination in that city, and remained there until 1916, when he was transferred to Beechmont Church, Louisville, and remained there until 1918. In the latter year he was elected principal of the Lindsay-Wilson Training School at Columbia, and entered at once upon the discharge of his duties. The school was established in 1903 and belongs to the Louisville Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The buildings are all modern brick structures and are known as the Administration Build-ing, the Girls' Building and the Boys' Building. These buildings are in ten-acre grounds. and are located at the eastern edge of Columbia. Mr. Bennett has six teachers and 200 pupils under his supervision. A man of strong convictions, he prefers to vote in-dependently of party ties. A Mason, he maintains membership with Columbia Lodge No. 96, F. and A. M. During the late war he took an active part in the local war work, assisting in all of the drives for the different purposes, bought bonds and stamps to the limit of his means, and contributed very generously to all war organizations. On June 20, 1912, Mr. Bennett was married at Decherd, Tennessee, to Miss Augusta M. Carpenter, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carpenter, residents of Decherd, Tennessee, Mr. Carpenter being a loco-motive engineer for the Nashville, Chattanooga & Saint Louis Railroad. Mrs. Bennett attended the normal school at Winchester, Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Ben-nett have four children, namely; Louise who was born June t9, 1913, is a student of the Lindsay-Wilson Training School; Jessica, who was born December 15, 1915; Reginald Victor, who was born December 12, 1917; and Joel Samuel, who was born in 1920. Since Mr. Bennett has assumed charge of the Lind-say-Wilson Training School this institution has been infused with new life, and the progress has been rapid and commendable. Pupils from this school have a high rating, and Doctor Bennett is constantly introducing improvements in methods, for he is a very pro-gressive man and is never content to rest upon laurels already won, but is seeking new ones through con-tinued study and effort. His interests are centered in his work, although he takes his civic responsibilities seriously and strives to lend his influence to all moral reforms and uplift movements. Personally he has a large following, and is recognized as one of the strik-ing figures in the educational and religious life of his part of the state."
