Bender - On the 24th of May, in Lyon Co., Kansas, of consumption, Bro. Christian D. Bender, aged nearly 68 years. He was confined to his bed for nearly eight months. Buried on the 26th in Borntreger's graveyard. Bro. Bender was almost universally loved and was a consistent member of the Church and died with a living hope. He bore his sickness patiently. Services were held by J.J. Borntreger from Ps. 90 and Rev. 21:1-5. He leaves his companion and eleven children, of whom five were present at his funeral. Bro. Bender emigrated from Germany to Somerset county, Pa., in 1842. From thence he moved to Johnson county, Iowa, in 1868 and from thence in 1875 to Lyon county, Kansas, having lived in America 46 years.
