The first burial in Bender's Cemetery was that of a man who, in crossing a fence, fell on a scythe which he was carrying to John Galbrath's. The second was that of a man who fell from a scaffold and broke his neck while building the church in 1781. The names of the aged, old residents of Butler Twp. who rest here, as far as head-stones give names and dates of death, are as follows: Henry PETER - 1846
