Joseph Bembenek, 77, who died Saturday morning at his home at North Star, had been a resident of the town of Sharon for nearly 70 years. His death occurred at 7:30 o'clock, following a long illness.
Mr. Bembenek was born in Germany on Dec. 15, 1871, and came to this country at the age of seven with his parents, the late Frank and Katherine Bembenek. The family lived in Brooklyn, N.Y., for two years and then located in Sharon where Mr. Bembenek lived until his death.
Active in many business enterprises throughout his lifetime, Mr. Bembenek began in his early youth assisting his father in the operation of threshing machine, the engine of which was drawn by ox team. He later established his own business consisting of a store and tavern and lumbering interests, which he continued as late as the 1948 season. Interested in modern machinery, Mr. Bembenek advanced with the trend of the times. He was also interested in fishing as a recreational activity.
His wife, the former Eva Blarek, whom he married in 1893, died on Jan 2, 1945.
Surviving are four sons, Dominic Benbenek of Stockton and Frank, John and Anton of Sharon, four daughters, Mrs. Walter Stroik of Sharon, Mrs. Kalbjorn Hansen of Ludington, MI, Mrs. Frank Stevens of Milwaukee and Mrs. Walter Cychosz of Sharon, a brother, Adam of Wausau, 22 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. A son, Theodore, died in 1935 at the age of 21, and two children died in infancy.
Mr. Bembenek served as supervisor of his town for many years. He was a member of St. Isadore's society of Sacred Heart Catholic church at Polonia.
