few months after the mother died as the result of burns. About four years ago
the father Michael Bender was killed in a fall of slate at the Black Diamond

brothers, Michael and George. Miss Frances was formerly employed as a
saleslady at Berryman's store. George is enlisted in the regular army. The
Bender family was one of the pioneer families of Charleroi, having lived here
nearly from the start of the town.
