Biographical note

Kenneth J. Benda was born on November 9, 1918, in Brooklyn, Iowa, to James and Rose Posekany Benda. He was raised on the family farm and attended Jefferson Township Country School #4 near his home. He graduated from Hartwick High School in 1936 and from Iowa State College (University) with a B.S. (1940) in forestry.

During World War II, Benda joined the United States Navy where he attained the rank of Lieutenant. He served on the USS Sangamon which was stationed in the Pacific during the war.

Benda returned home to Iowa in 1946 where he began working at the Hartwick State Bank in Hartwick, Iowa. He eventually purchased controlling shares of the bank in 1954. Benda retired as President of the bank in 1991 and continued to serve on the bank's Board of Directors until his death.

Benda was active in Iowa politics, the American Legion, and a number of professional banking organizations. At various times he served as the Poweshiek County (Iowa) Republican chairman, on the Poweshiek County Conservation Board, as the Iowa Department Commander (1956-1957) of the American Legion, and as President (1975-1976) of the Independent Bankers Association of America. Benda was elected to the Iowa State Senate in 1962. He resigned his seat in the Senate when he accepted the position as Iowa Commerce Commission Chairman (1969-1971).

Benda married Lucille Roudabush in Lancaster, Missouri, on July 5, 1941. The couple had two children, Barbara and James. Kenneth passed away at the age of 88 on September 30, 2007.
