Dennison
is a village situated on the north edge of section 26 of upper Wabash Township.

of the Pennsylvania R. R.
The village was founded by J. F. Barnard, who was extensively
engaged in the manufacture of lumber and wagon woodwork, having at that time
several mills along the line of the
Vandalia railroad, which was at
that time in the course of construction, by locating one of his factories at
that point.1
The village was laid out in 1871 by Lyman
Booth, on the northwest quarter of section 26, township 12, range 11 west.
