John F. Bennett: A Businessman Who 'Eventually Joined the Church' and Founded Bennett Glass and Paint
Contributed by
LDS Witness Archive
John F. Bennett was a businessman who, though not at first a member, 'eventually joined the Church' and founded the Bennett Glass and Paint Company in Salt Lake City—the family business his son, Senator Wallace F. Bennett, would later lead. His conversion and the building up of his family's business became a temporal blessing to the Latter-day Saint community of the Salt Lake Valley. Brother Bennett's life is a faith-promoting witness of those who, finding the restored gospel later in life, consecrated their means and their work to the building up of the Saints.
