(Witness) Bio

Isaac W. BEMENDERFER, furniture dealer and undertaker, Morocco, began business in 1873, which was solely undertaking, until 1881, when he opened his present store, and added a stock of furniture. He is doing a good business and has as large and well selected a stock as can be found in the country. From 1874 to 1880, he had D. M. Pulver associated with him as partner. Mr. Bemenderfer is a native of Stark County, Ohio, was born September 4, 1840, and is one of nine children of William and Sophia (Lichtenwalter) Bemenderfer, the latter a native of Pennsylvania, the former of Maryland, from which State he came, when quite young, with his parents to Virginia, where he grew to manhood, when he went to Starkl County, Ohio, where he married and remained until 1853, when he came to Fulton County, Indiana, where he owned a farm until his death, January 27, 1881. His wife still lives on the same farm. Isaac remained at home attending the common schools until twenty-one, where he rented and worked farms until 1869, after which he learned the carpenter's trade, which he has followed more or less since. He came to Newton County in the spring of 1865, and rented various farms until the fall of 1869, when he came to Morocco. November 9, 1861, he enlisted in Company K, Forty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served with the regiment until discharged on account of sickness, in July, 1862. He was married, April 8, 1863, to Melissa A. Enslen, a native of Allen County, Ohio, and a daughter of Frederick and Anna (Burch) Enslen. Eleven children have been born to them, six of whom--Mary E., Elida L., Melville E., Lillie D., Ionia and Ted--are living. He and his wife are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is superintendent of the Sunday school, and leader of the choir at Morocco. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and an Odd Fellow. He has been Justice of the Peace for four years. In politics, he has been since the War a Republican; previous to that time, was a Democrat. He is one of the prominent men of the township and county.
