Benoni Trimble
Benoni Trimble, a farmer and stockraiser, resides on section 10, Oregon Township, where he now owns 120 acres of land under a high state of cultivation. He was born in Indiana County, Pa., Nov. 10, 1818, and is the son of John and Elizabeth (Williamson) Trimble, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania, and have since died there. The subject of this sketch was reared on a farm, but in his youth was apprenticed to a blacksmith, learning that trade and following it for about twenty years, since which time he has been engaged in farming.
In 1862 Mr. Trimble was united in marriage in Montgomery County, Ohio, with Margaret Batty [Beatty], a native of that State, born about 1840. They have six children -- Lillie B., Rosella, Birdie, Benoni, Fidelia and Lovella B. Miss Birdie is a graduate of the High School of Ainsworth, receiving her diploma in 1877. She is now engaged in teaching. Mr. Trimble came to Washington County, Iowa, in 1866, and has since made this his home. Receiving but a limited education himself, he determined as far as was in his power to give his children better advantages in that respect than he himself enjoyed. The old log school-house, with its puncheon floor and benches, while it may have been the only college enjoyed by some of the great men of this land, and therefore must be appreciated at its real worth, is yet not such as this age demands, and therefore Mr. Trimble has been a strong friend of education.
Politically, our subject is a Republican, and is well able to express himself upon all questions of a political nature that may be before the people. He is an industrious and enterprising man. The home that he now enjoys and all that he possesses in life were acquired by his own exertions. He is a man who enjoys the respect of the community in which he resides.
