DIED
BENDER--Last Friday at 2:30 o'clock, the tolling of the church bell announced the sad news that Mr. Peter Bender who resided two miles south of town, had passed away. He had been in poor health for some time, and two weeks ago he was taken very ill with a bad attack of the grippe which confined him to his home for a week. On Monday he seemed to feel much better and the day being warm and sunny he rode with his son to town that afternoon. Although he looked worn and unwell, when asked how he felt he answered, "I feel fine." On his return from town he was seized with a severe attack of pneumonia which confined him to his bed. Dr. Canby was called at once and also a trained nurse from Omaha was summoned and all that loving hands could do was done to restore him to health, but all in vain. The Death Angel came Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Peter Bender was born in Mannaback, Germany, June 12, 1853. In 1857 he came to this country with his parents, locating at Henry, Ills. Later he was married to Miss Katherine Hatzenbuehler. To this union were born eleven children, seven of whom still live. They are, Will, Chad, Eddie and George Bender, Mrs. John Ternus Jr., Mrs. Conrad Hitner of Cornlea, and Mrs. Chester Waylie of Cedar Rapids. Mrs. Bender died nine years after the family moved to Nebraska. January 12, 1895 he was reunited in marriage to Miss Katherine Tohlen. Five children were born to this union, four of whom are still living and at home. Mr. Bender leaves a kind, loving wife, eleven children, three brothers, Henry, Joe and John Bender, three sisters, Mrs. Steve German of Humphrey, Mrs. Fred Vanackeren of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. Ed Seibel of Elgin besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Funeral services were held Monday at 9:00 o'clock from Sacred Heart church where a Requiem High Mass was held for the repose of the departed soul. After the ceremony the remains were laid to rest in the Humphrey Catholic cemetery. The deceased was a member of the Modern Woodmen, the Woodmen of the World, the A.O.U.W. and the Sons of Herman. The members of these orders attended in a body to pay their last respects to their departed member. The entire community extends their sympathy to the bereaved family.
