Biography:
MOSES BENDER, who has been a resident of Seymour for more than a quarter of a century, has been engaged in business here for fifteen years, during the last ten of which he has carried on stock buying and real estate dealing with a large degree of success. Mr. Bender is a native of Germany, being born February 7, 1867, in Province on the Rhein, Prussia, a son of David and Wilhelmina (Hammel) Bender, natives of that country, where the father, a cattle buyer, died in 1896, aged eighty years, and the mother still survives. They were the parents of eight children, namely: Emil, Jennette, Leopold, Rudolph, Henry, Rosalia, Moses and Carl, of whom the last named died when eight years of age. Besides Moses, Henry and Rosalia were the only children of this family to come to the United States.
Moses Bender was seventeen years of age when he came to this country, his education having been secured in the schools of Germany, and his first employment was in a Milwaukee wholesale clothing house, where he remained for eleven months. He then came to Seymour, where he became a clerk in the establishment of M. Bodenheimer, in whose employ he continued for eleven years, at the end of which time he was taken into partnership in the business, the firm name becoming Bodenheimer & Company. This business, which was of a general mercantile nature, was continued until 1902, when the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Bender engaged in the real estate business and the buying and shipping of fine work and draft horses, and his business has extended to such a degree that he has opened a branch office and barn at Gillett, Oconto county. Mr. Bender is an excellent business man, and his success is due to his own perseverance and ability, as he started in life with no advantages. He divides his time between Seymour and Appleton, having a home at No. 781 Union street in the latter city. He is a stockholder in both the First National and Seymour State Banks. In political matters he adheres to the principles of the republican party, which he has served as a member of the county central committee, but he has never aspired to public office.
In 1896. Mr. Bender was married to Selma Hammel, who was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, daughter of Jacob Hammel, of that city, and two children have been born to this union: David Emil and Julian Leopold.
