    JOHN A. BENDER -- Since 1903 John A. Bender has been residing in the Lodi section of San Joaquin County and is the owner of a forty-acre vineyard five miles south of Lodi. He was born in Menno, S. D., August 11, 1885, a son of John K. and Christina (Bender) Bender. John K. Bender was a farmer in his native land of Russia, having been born near the city of Odessa. In 1903 the family came to California and located in the vicinity of Lodi where the father purchased a twenty-acre vineyard on Cherokee Lane; later he sold this ranch and removed to Lodi, where he passed away in 1916, and the mother passed away in 1906. They were the parents of four children: Charles C.; John A., our subject; Margaret, Mrs. Henry Bender; and Bertha, Mrs. Rudolph Rode, both living in the Henderson district.

    John A. Bender received a grammar school education in Menno, S. D., and assisted his father with the ranch work until he was twenty-one years old, when he bought 160 acres on the Elliott road north of Lockeford, where he engaged in farming for six or seven years; on this quarter section of land he set out a vineyard of twenty-five acres; later he sold his ranch and bought the place where he now resides, which is situated about four miles south of Lodi; this ranch contains forty acres, one half of which is in alfalfa and the remaining half is set to vineyard; there are two irrigating plants on his ranch, one with a five-inch pump with a twelve-horsepower motor and the other with a six-inch pump with a fifteen-horsepower motor; Mr. Bender has also remodeled the house into a comfortable and modern residence.

    On October 28, 1906, in Lodi, occurred the marriage of Mr. Bender, which united him with Miss Pauline Schenkenberger, a native of South Dakota, born near Scotland, a daughter of John and Louise (Barrett) Schenkenberger. Mrs. Bender received her education in her native state and accompanied her parents to California about twenty-five years ago and here her father engaged in farming in the vicinity of Lodi. Mr. and Mrs. Bender are the parents of nine children: Herbert, Thelma, John, Jr., Roberta, Roy, Robert, Alfred, Raymond and Willard. Mr. Bender is a Republican in politics and the family are identified with the German Reformed Church.

    John married Paulina Schenkenberger on 28 Oct 1906 in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA. Paulina (daughter of Johannes Schenkenberger and Luisa Perret Berreth) was born on 5 Nov 1888 in South Dakota, USA; died on 11 Dec 1955 in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA; was buried in Cherokee Memorial Park, Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA.
