At the age of 1 year she came to Iowa with Isaac Eash and wife and lived with them until she was seven years old. After the death of Mrs Eash she found her home among friends wherever she could. At the age of 18 years she united with the Amish Mennonite Church and was a faithful and consistent member until death. On Jan 3, 1869 she was united in marriage by Bishop Abner Yoder to Daniel J Bender, with whom God permitted her to live in matrimony a little over 64 years. During all her life except her first year she lived in the immediate community in which she died. To this union were born 3 daughters and 3 sons (Lena, wife of Chris J Swartzendruber; Amanda, deceased wife of Amos Miller; Katie, wife of Geo Eash; Joseph D and Amelius D all of Wellman, Iowa.) their home also was opened to Vena Miller and taken in as one of the family until this day, a manifestation of their kindness towards others. Old age with other complications confined her to her bed for nearly 5 months, during which she manifested a true Christian spirit of patience and endured her pain uncomplainingly, though she so much desired to regain her health and attend church service. She leaves her aged companion, 4 children, 23 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, 1 sister (Mrs Judith Miller of Holmes Co, Ohio), besides many other relatives and friends. One daughter, 1 grandchild, and 5 great-grandchildren preceded her to the great beyond. She had a keen interest in the spiritual and material needs of those about her and showed a marked interest in the work of the sewing circle. Funeral services were held at the Lower Deer Creek Church Mar 27, 1933, by John Y Swartzendruber, assisted by J L Hershberger, and David D Miller. "Dearest mother, thou hast left us, And our loss we deeply feel; Bit 'tis God that has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal."
