On the 2nd of December, 1847, Mr. Fewell married Amelia, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Beauchamp) Reynolds, the latter natives of Delaware and Ohio, respectively. The father was a soldier of the War of 1812, subsequently to which he went to Ohio. There he was married, and in 1834 he and his family settled in Tippecanoe County, whence they went to White County three years later.
Here he entered and improved a farm, passing the remainder of his life thereon. He died in 1867, having survived his wife many years, as she had died in 1841. They were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and were conscientious and upright in all of the varied relations of life. Their eldest son, Jeremiah, died in Andersonville prison during the war of the Rebellion, and Risdon, also deceased, was quite prominent in his community, holding various local offices.
Miness is deceased; John lives in Iowa; and Moses in this state. Mrs. Fewell and Mrs. Mary Reed are the only daughters living. To our subject and wife three children were born: Clarissa E., wife of J. W. Rush, a farmer; Keziah, wife of J. H. Giles, of Brookston; and Gustavus A., a progressive farmer of this district. He married Nettie Giles, daughter of William Giles and a sister of J. H. Giles, above named.
On the fifty-first anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Fewell, December 2, 1898, all of their children, their five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren gathered at the old home and celebrated the happy event with the assembled friends. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fewell are consistent members of the United Brethren Church, each having been connected with the denomination for over half a century. They have been actively interested in the work of the Sunday school and the various departments of church work.
Mr. Fewell is a trustee, and took such an influential part in the building of Fewell Chapel that it was a most fitting act when his friends and fellow workers honored him by naming the church for him. This is but one evidence of the high place which he occupied in the hearts of the people of this vicinity, and all unite in praise of worthy, upright Benjamin Fewell.
