      Death of John M. Bender

      The death took place on Tuesday last at his home in Wilmot and South Easthope Townline of a well known and highly respected resident of this neighborhood in the person of Mr. John M. Bender at the age of 69 years, 10 months, and 13 days. The deceased had been in failing health for the past six months, but had been able to be about until a few days before his death, when he sunk rapidly and passed away. The late Mr. Bender was born in Wilmot Township, the son of the late John Bender. After his marrage in 1870 to Catharine Ruby he lived in East Zorra for six years, but for nearly 40 years he followed the occupation of farming on the place where he died. Three years ago he retired and came to New Hamburg for a short time after which he made his home with his son Joseph. Mr. Bender was a successful farmer and beloved by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss, besides his widow, four sons and one daughter, namely: Joseph, John and Moses of Wilmot, Sam uel J. of New Hamburg, and Annie at home. He is also survived by three brothers, Solomon olomon and David of East Zorra, and Samuel of New Hamburg. The funeral took place on Thursday forenoon to the 16th line Cemetery, East Zora. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.
