DEATH OF ALBERT BENDER
He Was Well-Known Resident of Port
Penn; Had Great War Record

Albert Bender, age 78, died at the
home of his son Harry Bender, in
Port Penn, Tuesday afternoon at four
o'clock. He had been in failing health
for several months. His death result
ed from gastroptosis and intestinal
trouble. Mr.. Bender went there from
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel
T. Armstrong, Jr., of Delaware City,
only a few days before the recent
election and went to the polls and vot-
ed on election day. He is survived by
the following children: Harry, Samuel,
B., Christian s., Mrs. Ollie ]. Voshell
of Port Penn; Mrs. Samuel T. Arm
strong Jr., and Mrs. John w. Spicer,
of Delaware City; James M. Bender,
of Jessup, Md, and Walter K. Bend.
Ter, of Grottoes, Va. Three sisters
also survive him: Mrs. Frances Amor
rison, of Port Huron, Michigan; Mrs.
Mollie Rash of st. Georges, and Mrs.
Sarah Webb of Smyrna. Mr.. Bender
was born January &c, 1874 near Wood
bury, n. j., and came to Port Penn
when young man. In 1865, after
the close of the Civil War, he returned
there and married Katherine Johnson
who died in February 1916, one year
after their golden wedding anniver-
sary. Since the death of his wife he
has made his home in Delaware City
with his daughters, Mrs. Samuel T.
Armstrong, Jr., and Mrs. John w.
Spicer.
Mr.. Bender fought in the Union
Army during the Civil War; He en-
listed in 1862 and was not discharged
until the early fall of 1865. At the
time of President Lincoln's assassina-
tion in a Washington theatre by the
actor Booth, Private Bender gained
sudden fame, by taking a prominent
part in the capture of Atzerdotz who
had assisted Booth in making his es-
cape after the murder. Sergeant Gem
mill of New Castle, who died a few
years ago,was detailed with 6 privates
of whom Mr.. Bender was one, to ef-
feet the capture of Atzerdotz. The de-
tail trailed him to a log cabin neal
Port Tobacco which is along the Mary
land side of the Potomac river, and
forcing a way into the cabin anC
through the trap-door to the loft above
took AtzerdOtz and two companions
prisoners in spite of the fact that they
were heavily armed. Atzerdotz was
shortly afterwards executed. As a re
ward for the capture, Mr.. Bender anC
the other five privates received $3,50C
each from the government and Ser
geant Gemmill received $1,000.
Shortly afterwards, Private Bendle
was mustered out of the army and
returning to Port Penn, has made hi
home there until his death.
Smyrna times., 1922-11-22

With the apple season closed for
the year, the progressive orchardists
of Delaware are planning for next
years crop and are now starting their
winter spraying. All trees will be
sprayed to check scale. Next spring,
new spray is to be tried out, scientif-
ic spraying having proved so success
full, but this time it is to be dust
spraying. The use of a powder which
has been found to be the enemy of the
fly which finds its way to the fruit on
the year of production and after sting
ing it flies away, will be used. The
idea is not new in some sections, but
it will probably be the first that dust
spraying has been used in Delaware,
but most of the orchardists will use
it. The sting of the fly, attacking the
bud in its coming maturity, causes the
rot in the interior of the apples that
one buys. Altho there is no outward
indication of the rot, it is when the
apple is cut open that it is disclosed.
