• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/nd/county/mcintosh/bios-1.htm George Bender was born in Marienberg, South Russia, on January 26 th , 1879. When a boy of ten years, he came with his parents, Philip and Rosa Bender, and his brothers and sisters, to this country. They came to Eureka by train, there George?s father purchased a team of oxen and brought his family and their belongings to McIntosh County. This was in 1889. He lived with his folks and helped them break and till the soil and eager to establish a home for himself, he filed an a homestead 9 miles southwest of Ashley in 1900. The same year he was married to Philephenia Reub. She was born in Kassel, South Russia, and had come to this country with her parents George and Christine Reub who had settled in McPherson County in 1887. The Benders first home was made of sod and stone and built by themselves. They had no money but owned four horses, four cattle and a plow, which was valued at about $300.00. The first years of their married life was an experience not to be forgotten, poor crops, no grain to sell, no sale for butter and eggs. This made it necessary to find work elsewhere in order to supply the family with food. However, better times came and there were fields of waving grain which were harvested and granaries were full, some to be sold and some for seed for the next year. In 1905 Mr. Bender bought a farm one mile south of Ashley and moved his family there, where they still live. Mr. and Mrs. Bender were parents of fourteen children, thirteen of whom are living. They are: Philip of Wishek; John of Ashley; Ida, married to Chris Grosz of Ashley; Edward of Lehr; Benjamin of Long Lake, S. D.; William and Julius of Ashley; Marie, a married daughter living in Aberdeen; Frieda, another married daughter, living at Leola, S. D.; and Christian, Theodore, Otto and Anna, who are still unmarried and live at home. Mrs. Bender, age 57, passed away at a hospital at Omaha, Nebraska, on January 1 st , 1938, following an operation to which she submitted the preceding day. Funeral services took place at the Zion Lutheran Church, Rev. J. C. Jung officiating. The body was interred in the Lutheran Cemetery south of Ashley. Mr. Bender with his family has acquired about 1500 acres of farm land and today has a well equipped farm. Mr. Bender is a prominent resident in the community and he and his family are members of the Lutheran Church.
