Her husband joined the Confederate Army at the beginning of the Civil War and was captured and held prisoner at Little Rock Arkansas. Just before the war was over Mrs. Bennett received a letter from him stating he would soon come home to his faithful wife and small children. Mrs. Bennett spent many days and nights watching and waiting for her loved one to come home. Mr. Bennett never came home and from that time on she never heard a word from him. It is thought that he was killed by Bushwhackers while making his way back home. She was converted in early life and was united with the Methodist Church South of which body she lived a consistent member until death.
