THE 'LTE HENRY BENDER. --The death of a loving father, kind husbaud and valued friend, whose presence has always helped to alleviate the many ad- versities of life, is indeed a sad blow„ Nit to -day the 'battle is o'er and he rests at peace with all the world. The subject of our sketch is Mr. Henry Bender, who departed this life On Sun- day at the age of 82 years. Deceased was a native of Germany, and had been a resident of this place about 33 years. Mr. Bender has passed beyond the sphere of- our vision', but those who mourn his removal do not need A n xi - o usly to inquire whither he has gone. A good man in the truest sense is one who lives in the fear of God and in faith of the Redeemer. The good fruit is the product of a good tree. He was quite incapable of pa radi n g his religion, or of putting forth claims to public support on the ground of it; but he never concealed the fact that he placed his hope on Christ. His sor- rowing partner in life and one son are left to mourn his demise. The. funeral took place on Wednesday to the Lu- theran cemetery and the large funeral cortege was an evidence that he was much respected by all. A PIONEER LIFE ENDED. -Monday seen the mortal remains of one who bed lived the allotted span of life in well -doing laid to rest in Turner's cem- etery. We refer to those., of the late Mr. Robert Plewes, of the 2nd con., whose soul was taken to its maker on Saturday. April 18th. He was born at Greenhamperton. Yorkshire, Eng- land, in 1825, and came to this country in the thirties, settling in Toronto tp., where be remained until 1850. Feeling that better cbances awaited a strong and rugged man such as he was, fur- ther west, he came up to this vicinity and took up the land that 'now marks the farm on which he died. It was but a wilderness then with few roads, but hewing out a spot to build a house on, and • gathering a few comforts around him that usually go with a pio- neer's life, he took auto himself a help- mate in the person of Miss Harriet Walters, a danghter of Francis Wal- ters, of the same township two years after. Eight children was born to them, four sons and four daughters. For the past ten years Mr. Plewes had not been eujoying, the best of health. Bright's disease having taken hold 4if him, but with his constitution of iron enabled him to do Many a day's ivork since, end was able to be around till within a fewdaysof his death, ureanic poisoning setting in at last, disrobing his body of that spirit which gave him life. Mr. and Mrs. Plewes celel,rated their golden wedding anniversary but a few months ago, and at that time had all their children with them. In private life Mr. Plewes was pleasant and companionable. In entineil end advice he always evinced tbe soberest wisdom, and was ;t kind father and af- fectionate husband. The funeral cot t- ege was one of the largest that has ever followed the remains of a resident to the grave in this vicinity. We ex- tend to Mrs. Plevvs and family that sympathy which goes to lighten the heart pangs of affliction.
