Herbert D. Benedict is well known in Asotin county, having been a resident here between twenty and twenty-five years. During this time he has always shown himself a substantial man, thrifty and wise, and ever interested in the public affairs for the building up and improvement of the country.
At present, he lives in Clarkston, where he owns a fine residence and nine acres of choice irrigated land, which is set to fine fruit. In addition, he has some four hundred and eighty acres of land near Theon, where he took his homestead in 1882 and which is devoted to the production of the cereals.
Herbert D. Benedict was born in Jamestown, New Tork, on May 20, 1862, the son of Isaac and Mary (Hall) Benedict, natives of New York and Vermont respectively. The father was engaged in the wool manufacture. Our subject was educated in the common schools of Adams County, Wisconsin, where the family removed when he was young and where he remained thirteen years.
In the spring of 1882, he came west with his mother and they selected the homestead near Theon, which we have already mentioned. Since that time Mr. Benedict has thoroughly identified himself with the territory now embraced in Asotin County and has done splendid work in development.
In 1911 he purchased a tract of land of nine acres, where he now resides and began improving the same for his home place. He had a handsome residence and a splendid young orchard. He is already shipping and disposes of his fruit through the Clarkston Fruit Growers Association, of which he is a stockholder.
In Theon, on March 30, 1887, Mr. Benedict married Miss Flora, the daughter of Albert and Bell (Davis) Toops, natives of Virginia and Ohio, respectively. The father was a veteran of the Rebellion and a pioneer settler of this county. Mrs. Benedict was born in Athens, Ohio, on June 1, 1869.
Mr. Benedict has four brothers and sisters: William E., a farmer, near Anatone; Flora, the wife of Joe Margeson, in Grand Rapids, Wisconsin; Mrs. Lizzie mix, of Missoula, Montana; and Hiram, who was for many years auditor of Asotin county and is now deceased. He was a soldier for the Union during the Rebellion.
To Mr. and Mr.s Benedict five children have been born: Guy, on January 30, 1891; Rollo, on August 6, 1893; Grace, on October 4, 1895; Byron on December 3, 1896; Pearl and Pansy, on August 8, 1900.
Mr. Benedcit is a charter member of the I.O.O.F. in Anatone and has passed all the chairs. He was raised under the influence of the Methodist Church and in politics has always been an active Republican.
