  The remains of William F. Bender, who died suddenly on Tuesday last 
at his home in Philadelphia, were brought to this station yesterday 
afternoon on Pittsburg express and were taken to Tyrone cemetery and

was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bender, who were among the earliest 
settlers of what is now Tyrone borough.  The father died here some 
twenty odd years ago, and the mother a few years later, leaving the 
son, William, and one daughter, Amelia.  The deceased was aged about 40 
years and is survived by his wife and one daughter, and also his 
sister, Amelia.  Mrs. W. F. Bender is the sister of Mrs. Edward 
Hoffman, of No. 8, Cottage street, in this place.
