John R. Benda was born in Humes, Austria, June 20, 1852. He died at his home one mile north of Luray, October 25, 1911, aged 59 years, 4 months, and 5 days. He came from Austria to Chicago, Illinois in 1862. From there he went to Corydon, Iowa and in March, 1900 came to Clark County, Missouri and has since resided at the place of his death.
He was united in marriage to Catherine Rosen, in Chicago, May 22, 1873. To this union were born five sons and five daughters, all of whom, except one Arnold F. survive him, together with the companion of his youth. They are: A. W. and Mrs. Emma A. Jones, Corydon, Iowa; John F. of Cambria, Pennsylvania; Julia E. Canfield of Denver, Colorado; Clarence H. and Mary Grace at home; Charley G. of Corydon, Iowa; Irene May and Ethel N. at home. There are also seven grandchildren. All of the children except Mrs. Canfield, were home for the funeral, which was from the home Friday afternoon, October 27th. It was conducted by Rev. E. M. Houchens, of Kahoka, who had been asked by the deceased to officiate several years ago, while he was yet in good health. Burial was in Combs Cemetery at Luray.
Mr. Benda was stricken with paralysis in June 1908, and was almost entirely helpless after that time. He had just been assisted to the dinner table when the summons came. The years of suffering demonstrated the very strong constitution of the man, but finally the human strength was compelled to yield, as must all the rest of the human race. The course of life is gone and then all come into the same state and just await the final plan of the Almighty Father.
