• Notes

  Julius Bendt was born January 28, 1852, at Harmsdorf, near Oldenburg in Schleswig, Holstein, and was married to Lena Rosberg (born June 8, 1856) in 1880. To this union were born six children: Bertha (born October 17, 1880) who died in early life; Otto (born July 5, 1883); Herman (born November 23, 1886); Dora (born May 9, 1889); Ella (born May 13, 1892); and Paula (born May 12, 1894). In April of 1885 they came to America and settled in the Mineola area where he rented various farms. On March 20, 1903, he purchased a 240 acres farm in Keg Creek Township for $65.00 an acre from T. Basch. They resided here until 1915 when he retired and moved to Mineola. Julius Bendt passed away June 13, 1919. Julius' son Herman, who was renting the farm at the time, purchased 160 acres with the buildings from the estate on November 29, 1919 for $145.00 per acre, and Julius' son, Otto, purchased the other 80 acres. Herman Brendt married Helen Hansen (born June 25, 1890) on March 31st, 1915. They had 5 children: one died in infancy; Vera (born January 20, 1916) married to Herman Schroeder; Mildred (born March 17, 1917) married to Ersal Powles; Anita (born August 23, 1918) married to George Marshall; and Earl (born March 23, 1928) married to Phyllis McCoy. Herman mortgaged the farm on March 29, 1932 and sold it on April 20, 1936. He continued to farm it until 1938; and then he moved to Mills County where he continued to farm until 1954. After he retired, he moved to Silver City and worked for various farmers in the area. In 1960, he had planted corn for 60 years. His wife, Helen passed away February 25, 1972, the last member of the Hansen family. On November 23, 1977, Herman was 91 years old and living in the Nishna Care Center in Malvern, Iowa. He is the last living member of his family. By Edward Marshall.
