Interestingly, Joe's headstone gives his birth and death dates as 1876-1969, but the WWI draft registration gives his dob as 19 Feb 1877 (Feb 1877 in the 1900 census) and the Florida Death Index gives his dod as Dec 1967 in Palm Beach County.
A successful business man in the North for many years, Joseph E. Bender came to South Florida largely for rest and recreation, but soon became attracted by the unusual opportunities at West Palm Beach and is now a fixture and an enterprising factor in the business life of that city, where he is president of the Anarctic (sic) Ice Company. Mr. Bender is a native of Starke County, Indiana, grew up on a farm, had a country school education, and left the farm when still a boy to get into the practical details of business. At the age of seventeen he located at Centerville, Wayne County, Indiana, and was engaged in the meat business there, later in the laundry business at Cambridge in the same county, and for eleven years was handling a profitable business at Richmond, Indiana. At Richmond he had control of the ice cream products of the Wayne Ice Company, distributing this under his individual organization, known as the Bender Ice Cream Company. Thus he had an extensive experience in various branches of refrigeration before he came to South Florida. Mr. Bender has lived at West Palm Beach since early in 1920. His visit was lengthened into a prolonged stay which he now regards as permanent. After a time he organized the Antarctic Ice Company, of which he is president and general manager. The splendid plant of this company was built under his personal supervision and began operations with its first output of ice early in January, 1922. The plant has a capacity of eighty tons per day, the ice being manufactured by the raw water system, the system most approved by experts in the ice industry. The machinery and equipment are the most modern to be had, and represent the last word in ice manufacture. The water supply is secured from a well on the premises sixty-eight feet deep, the water being in eight feet of solid rock, and by analysis of competent chemists is pronounced to be of the highest standard of purity. The pump can raise 250 gallons of water per minute from this well. The building is of modern concrete construction, and all the electricity for power is produced by Fairbanks-Morse oil-burning engines. Besides the ice plant the company operates a storage plant, leased to the Evansville Packing Company for meat storage. Mr. Bender is a popular member of the West Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce. He married Miss Eva Guyton, of Wayne County, Indiana, and they have one son, Raymond Cecil Bender. The History of Florida, 1923, Lewis Publishing Co..
