Martin Bender was born in Kassel, South Russia, in the year 1860, the son of John Bender, and while a native of Russia married Christina Knoll in 1883.

A desire to see America and make a new home started their emigration to the United States and in 1885 they left Russia and traveling by rail and water to the United States made their first stop at Tyndal, S. D. The next spring saw them on their way by ox team to McIntosh County, where about six miles West and two miles North of the present site of Venturia, N. D., Mr. Bender filed on three quarters of land.

In 1917, Mr. Bender had the misfortune to lose all his cattle and horses in a fire that also destroyed his fine barn. Mr. and Mrs. Bender continued their farming operations until the spring of 1928 when they left the farm and moved to Venturia, N. D. Idleness, however, was not in Mr. Bender?s make-up, so the next year he, together with his youngest son, engaged in operating a filling station in Venturia and continued that business until the spring of 1931 when he sold his interest in the business.

On July 3, 1931, Mr. Bender was called to the Great Beyond by his Maker. Internment was made in the Venturia cemetery. Mrs. Bender still makes her home in Venturia.

Mr. Bender was less fortunate than various other early pioneers, in that he not only had no property to speak of, when he arrived here, and what little he did have he had borrowed the money to buy.

The early hardships of the Bender family were many. The nearest trading point at that time being Ellendale, N. D., and many were the times he went there for flour, salt and other necessary provisions, making the 100 mile trip both ways on foot. Many times he was compelled to go a hundred miles from home in order to find work so as to support his family. In order to take his family to church he would hitch one ox and one horse to the hay rake and in that way was able to attend church services. Like many other earlier settlers Mr. Bender and family sought safety in Eureka, S. D., when it was reported that the Indians were on the war path.

Mr. Bender at one time sold one of his fine quarter sections of land for the "magnificent" sum of $100.00 in order to pay pressinq debts.

Mr. and Mrs. Bender were of Baptist faith and were blessed with eleven children all of whom are living, namely: Katherine Schnabel; Philpina Dockter; Christina Schrenk, wife of County Commissioner J. P. Schrenk; Bertha Krause; Samuel Bender, farmer; Genthon Bender, operator of a filling station and all living in or near Venturia, N. D.; Martin W. Bender, farmer of Zeeland, N. D.; August M. Bender, a carpenter of Victor, California; Lydia Woehl, of Wishek, N. D.; Albina Feioch, of Aberdeen, S. D.; and Frieda Krause, of Lehr, N. D.

Martin married Christina Knoll on 18 Jan 1883 in Kassel, Odessa, Ukrayina. Christina (daughter of Georg Peter Knoll and Katharina Sattler) was born on 15 Apr 1861 in Kassel, Odessa, Ukrayina; died on 13 Oct 1953 in North Dakota, USA; was buried in Baptist Cemetery, Venturia, McIntosh County, North Dakota, USA.

GOTTLIEB BREITLING

The pioneer story of Gottlieb Breitling does not vary from those of other pioneers of our County. He was born in South Russia, on January 1 st , 1864. When he came to America in 1884, Scotland, S. D. was his destination. Financially embarrassed, he could go no further. He obtained work on the farm of Christian Ferderic for three and a half years, receiving $150.00 per year. This money he saved and later bought 2 horses, 2 cows and some blacksmith tools. He had learned the art of the blacksmith trade in Russia and had the advantage of the average farmer with this side line.

In 1888, he purchased a team of oxen, a wagon, harrow and plow and decided to go to the central part of the Territory where there was a better choice of land to file on. His stock and other possessions were loaded and shipped to Eureka. That being the end of the line, the trip from there was made across the country with wagon and team, the rest of the stock being tied to the wagon and led. He located and filed on the NE ¼ of Section 31, Township 129. Range 71, about fourteen miles from Ashley. Here he built a two room sod house. Lumber for it and the windows cost $30.00 and had to be hauled from Eureka. His farm equipment was considered about the best around the country and was valued at about $500.00. Having no ready money, he worked at his blacksmith trade on his farm. Many of his neighbors brought him work and one man walked twelve miles bringing him some work. His first three years here, there were no crops on account of the lack of moisture and the little he earned from his trade, did not go amiss.

Mr. Breitling often related an incident that happened to him and probably happened to any other pioneer that had to ask for credit. Being out of flour and having no money, it was necessary to ask for credit when they went to town, they had to have flour. The result was that a mortgage was given on two horses and two oxen for 50 pounds of flour.

Schools and churches were not established as yet, but the lack of church buildings did not keep these people from their worship. The family Bible was read from every day and on Sunday they would gather at the home of Mike Delzers for church service. The people in this community were of the Lutheran faith.

Mr. Breitling was united in marriage to Friedericka Dobler in 1888, Rev. Bedd performing the ceremony. Fifteen children were born to this union, 13 of whom are living and are: Christina, Mrs. Carl J. Bertsch, Greenway, S. D.; Lydia, Mrs. Henry G. Roth, Ashley, N. D.; Emily, Mrs. Carl G. Bertsch, Greenway, S. D.; Paulina, Mrs. Carl H. Bertsch, Baker, Mont.; Bertha, Mrs. August Mueller, Venturia, N. D.; Rahil, Mrs. Henry J. Rott, Fredonia, N. D.; Gottlieb and Gideon, farmers, Venturia, N. D.; Leha, Mrs. Samuel Bender, Venturia, N. D.; Arthur, farmer, Venturia, N. D.; Ruth, Mrs. Daniel Mueller, Venturia, N. D.; Adina, Mrs. E. T. Geidt, Bismarck, N. D.; and Rebecca, Bismarck, N. D.

Mr. and Mrs. Breitling retired from farming about five years ago and moved to Venturia, N. D., where they reside.

Gottlieb married Fredericka Dobler in 1888 in South Dakota, USA. Fredericka was born in 0May 1870 in Odessa, Ukrayina; died on 9 Jul 1952 in South Dakota, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
