HISTORY OF WHITESIDE COUNTY 12G3

and Malinda Twining, who came to this state in the fall of 1863 and settled
in Union Grove township, where the father became a prosperous agricul-
turist. Both he and his wife, however, are now deceased. Unto Mr. and
Mrs. Bent has been born a daughter, Lottie F., whose natal day was in De-
cember, 186'3. She is a native of Union Grove township and became the
wife of Richard Z. Tilton, by whom she had four children, two now living.
Mr.*. Tilton now resides with her father.

Mr. Bent votes the republican ticket, but the honors and emoluments of
office have no attraction for him. He has always preferred to concentrate his
energies upon his business affairs, and in this regard has met with signal suc-
cess. He early came to realize that there is no royal road to wealth and did
not hesitate to perform his duties day after day to the best of his ability with
the result that he is a prosperous and well known citizen of Whiteside county.

Lottie married Richard Zebulon Tilton, son of William Benjamin Tilton and Mary Jane Bell, in 1887 in Whiteside Illinois. (Richard Zebulon Tilton was born on 6 Mar 1865 in Morris Whiteside Illinois, died on 6 Mar 1939 in Morrison Whiteside Illinois and was buried Grove Hill Cemetery in Morrison Whiteside Illinois, Find A Grave #93627625.)
