BENJAMIN F. HUNGERFORD was born February 22, 1825, in West Sparta Township,
Livingston Co., N. Y.  His parents, Jabez and Elizabeth (Weston)
Hungerford, were natives of Jamestown, N. Y.  THe paternal grandfather was
born in the North of Ireland.  Benjamin F. was educated at Nunda Academy,
New York, where he remained from the age of fifteen to nineteen years,
taking the classical course.  He then entered the office of a prominent
lawyer; was admitted to the lower courts at the age of nineteen, and, on
attaining his majority, was elected superintendent of public instruction
for the Western Division of the State of New York.  Four years later, on
the expiration of his term of office, on account of failing health he was
obliged to seek a warmer climate.  He moved to New Liberty, Owen Co.,  Ky.,
where he taught a private school three years, and then became president of
New Liberty Female College.  In the fall of 1859, at the solicitation of
the trustees of Shelbyville Female College, he took charge of that
institution, and was for three years its president.  In 1861 he was
ordained a minister of the gospel by the Baptist Church at Shelbyville,
and the same year became pastor of the Little Mount congregation, Spencer
County.  He has been pastor of different churches in Shelby County, and
for eighteen years has had charge of the church at Clay Village.  November
2, 1853, Mr. Hungerford married Miss Rose Ann Allonutt, of Owen County, who
bore him two children: Frank, who was born October 14, 1858, and died in
1862, and Orithia, wife of M. F. Jesse, of Shelby County.  Mr. Hungerford
is one of the foremost Baptist preachers in this part of the State.
