Note from Sandy (Whalen) Bauer:
Oliver Perry Bennett married Ollie (Olive) Cook on February 27, 1898 in Jefferson County, IL.

Here is a photo of Oliver Perry Bennett and wife Olive Cook and their two children Floyd and Flora, from my paternal grandmother's photo collection I inherited. Oliver was a brother of my great-grandmother, Loucetta (Bennett) Butler. Oliver and Lucetta are children of Andrew Wilson Bennett (182701900) and Philena Jennings 1832-1900). Andrew and Philena died from flu in 1900 and are buried at Lard Cemetery near Belle Rive.
