On April 1, 1875, he was again married to Lydia Miller. Grandpa Bender was a faithful and an active member of the Amish Mennonite Church, from his youth, and his place was seldom vacant. His death was caused by several strokes of paralysis, being confined to his bed but 2 days. With a smile, he fell asleep in Jesus, where he so much longed to be. He is survived by wife, 3 sons, 3 daughters, 34 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Funeral services Oct. 12 at the East Fairview Church, conducted by Jacob Stauffer and Sanford C . Yoder.
