JOHN BENDER
Niagara Falls Centre
[Welland Tribune, 4 March 1898]
We sincerely regret the death of John Bender, Esq., on the 28th ult., at the residence of his brother, Major Hiram Bender, at the Clifton hill, Falls Centre. His illness was short. On the day before his death he intimated to his relatives that he was ill and might not live many hours. Not until early next day was any serious apprehension felt. His medical attendant, Dr. McGarry, remained closely by him, but could not allay the progress of the complaint. Death occurred at 4 p. m. on the 28th (Monday last). The shock to his friends and relatives is very painful, and gloom is felt over the whole neighborhood. Mr. Bender was about 53 years of age, was the youngest son of the late Philip Bender of a family of ten. Two sons – Major Bender and Philip Bender, and four daughters – Mrs. Redpath, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Biggar and Janie, survive. It was only a week before that several of the Bender family first named took part in celebrating the 100th birthday of their uncle. Adam Misener, of Troy, in Beverley township, Ontario. The funeral yesterday was very large, prominent residents from many parts of the country being present to show their esteem for Mr. Bender and their sympathy with those who mourn.
