TINE changing of the vast in northwestern
Kansas from the unenviable reputation of
II being desert to blooming garden where
hope has challenged despair, and where faith
has triumphed is not the tedious work of years. but
the consistent labor of men, Nature placed mark
that section that rather threatened effort and de-
fed opportunity. Like other in the great west,
it seemed to be designed for great grazing pasture for
cattle and offered little inducement for homes. One
of the last frontiers of the west; its development
started only when the other places were filed and
other opportunities exhausted.
There were pioneers, however, who came with little
to sustain them but faith, and little to guide them
but hope and the story of winning garden of homes
and happiness from the vast expanses, is of the
real romances in American history 1t was on these
plains that the famed characters OF the west hunted
buffalo and fought Indians but finally settlers and
seed came and the battle to close the prairie dog
holes and to transform the short grass into suf-
fciency of growing things that would build the foun
dations for the homes and civilization that dot this
country
The problem was to display faith and stick it out
One of these pioneers who had the endurance of
Pilgrim Fathers, who made possible this great and
vast United States, and who had confidence in the
future of the country whose faith was justified and
whose hope realized, is Otis Lincoln Benton,
the noted stockman, farmer and banker of Oberlin,
has inspired other and further development and his
thirty years of useful life in this community can
be we'll described thirty mileposts in the story OF
progress in northwestern Kansas
AS young man Benton came to this section thirty
years ago with fixed determination that 1t offered
more inducements to honest effort and intelligent
application, than any other spot. Pioneering was not
new to the Benton family. MI Benton's family had
settled along the picturesque vermillion in Potta-
watomie County in 1885, when 1t cost real sacrifice to
be Kansas Pioneer The elder Mr.. Benton helped
fight the battle against the environments of onei-
ness that pervaded the rugged outposs of civiiza-
ton He helped to win from the wilderness the
splendid civilization that makes Kansas the admra-
ton of the world He and his faithful wife were
great lovers of Abraham Lincoln, and all that Lincoln
stood for, so much they helped perpetuate that
name by calling their favorite Otis Lincoln

try and became member of a company of Kansas
