Biography submitted by Jean Bolivar, Bennett Elementary School, Bellevue, Washington

Richard Bennett was an author and illustrator of children's books. His family owned the land which is now Bennett School. He was born in Leap Ireland on July 22, 1899. He came to America at the age of four. His parents bought a farm in what was a wild and unsettled part of Washington. Bears, deer and mountain lions could be seen. Most of the Bennett family neighbors were Samish Indians whose activities became the background for some of the books he authored.

The family farm was forty acres situated between 24th Street NE and 16th Street SE (the Weathersfield area of Bellevue), including the present school property of ten acres. After the house burned down, the family moved to Seattle for a time and sold all but the ten acres.

Moving back to the area of Cedar Lane in 1960, the family used planks from the loft of the old family barn to floor the deck and stairs of the house.
