	Peter Bender was born in Frankfort-on-the—Main, Germany, April 12, 
1825, the fifth of six children.  His parents, Frederick and Mary Bender, never 
left the fatherland, and although the father was a baker, he was chiefly 
engaged in farming.  Our subject received a German education, and embarked for 
America at the age of nineteen.  He traveled some in New York, and located at 
Baltimore, Md., where he engaged in farming and railroading, until about 1856.  
He then brought his family to Alexandria, Mo., and there engaged for about 
three years in working for a former employer, and in renting land.  After about 
sixteen years at two different places, and four years at a third, he came to 
his present home.  He now owns a good farm of eighty acres, well improved and 
cultivated.  Politically he holds to the faith of the Democratic Party, and 
cast his first vote with them for Buchanan.  He and his wife were reared as 
German Lutherans.
