WILLIAM BRENT, farmer; P. O. Havana; was born in Yorkshire, England, Aug. 31, 1842; the son of Robert Brent, who came to this country in October, 1864, and, like many others, lodged in Mason Co., where he has been a resident ever since. In January, 1870, he married Mrs. Martha Hanline; two children have been born from this union—Harry, Nov. 16, 1871; Stella, April 29, 1874. He is engaged in farming and always has been, and is striving to make an honest living and hopes by attention to his business and exercising economy to attain a competency for his declining years.
