The Carson City Gazette, Friday, January 6, 1905
George K. Bolender was born in Uniontown, Stark Co., Ohio, February 8, 1827, 
and died at his home in Hubbardston, December 28, 1904, in his seventy-eighth 
year.  He lived in his native town, in Ohio, until 1867 when he went to Akron 
where he remained until 1880, at which time he purchased a farm just south and 
east of Hubbardston.  This was his home until last summer when he moved into 
the village.  His wife died February 8, 1892.  In Ohio Mr. and Mrs. Bolender 
were identified with the Reformed Church, but when they came to Hubbardston 
there was no organization of that faith there, so they identified themselves 
with the Congregationalists.

Mr. Bolender was highly respected for his sterling qualities, he was a model 
citizen, a kind and obliging neighbor, and a jovial companion, even in his 
declining years.  He distributed his kind words as he did his kind deeds, 
unostentatiously, but with good results.  

He is survived by two sons and two daughters, Frank of Plainwell, Milo of 
Sparta, and Misses Maggie and Hattie Bolender, who lived at home and made his 
declining years comfortable and pleasant.  The sympathy of all who knew him 
goes out to the family in their sorrow.

Funeral services were held at the home, Friday afternoon, and were largely 
attended.  Burial was made in the family lot in the West Side cemetery.  Frank 
and Milo Bolender and their families, and two brothers-in-law, D. F. Frank of 
Massillon, Ohio, and J. D. Frank of Canton, Ohio, were among those from out of 
town who attended.
