Obituary: John Hughes Bender Jr. was, first and foremost a Christian teacher. He was baptized in and raised attending the Pollocksville Presbyterian Church, and in his early years, he said his family did not miss church at all. Many years later, he taught School classes there. Of course, his first profession was teaching high school science and later serving as a school principal in Onslow , but Dad was a teacher all his life, to his sons, to his nieces and nephews, and to many others in the community. Johnnys Milk Route! In that sense, it is fitting that he was actually born in a school. In 1925, his father, John Bender, Sr., was working as a custodian at Alex H. White School in Pollocksville, NC, and was allowed to live in the older school building that sat behind the newer brick building. That older wooden school had four rooms, and Dad was born in the front room on the left. That old wooden school, used for many years as storage, was still standing in the 1960s when Dad walked into the building with his sons Bill and Jack, and pointed to the back left corner of the front room on the left, and said, I was born on a cot in that corner. Dad shared several other memories of his early years in that house. He remembered that his Mom, Mildred Bender, kept a milk cow and would sell milk all over Pollocksville, which at that time consisted only of the School Lane, Hwy 17, Back Street, and a number of older houses on Goshen Road. The three blocks between the school lane and Goshen road were simply woods. Dad also remembered that he always had a great bike, with a large basket. His bike was much nicer and newer than everyone elses and he realized, many years later, that his Dad always kept a good bike because he was the Pollocksville milk delivery system! Other transportation was still antiquated in the late 1920s in Pollocksville. In fact, my Dad was born into a horse and buggy world. While cars did exist in the 1920s, few people in Pollocksville had them, so buggies and horse carts were the main mode of transportation. Dad remembered that the school in which he was born had one electric light bulb hanging from the ceiling in each room during his early life, but water was drawn from a well in the yard and the family used an outhouse. Interesting to reflect that during Dads lifetime the world moved from that horse-and-buggy world to men on the moon with the whole world connected via the internet and our digital world. Again, those changes took place in one lifetime. Camping at Catfish Lake was always an important part of Daddys life, even in his childhood. His uncle, Allan Bender often told a Lake story about Dad, when Daddy was about six years old. John Bender Sr, Uncle Allan, and others were camping at Bill White Ridge at the western end of the Lake under a heavy tarp. While the adults sat around the camp fire one night, they saw a still-sleeping boy, Johnny, leave the tent to pee. Apparently still half-asleep, Dad fixed on the first round thing he saw, the top of the open coffee pot beside the fire. Whipping out his personal apparatus, he let fly right into the coffee pot, and then stumbled back under the tarp and put himself back to bed! Thats the reason that Uncle Allan Bender called Daddy Coffee Pot John until the day he died! At some time in the 1930s, John Bender Sr., opened a general store on Highway 17 and the family moved downtown, across the road from Parkers Station. There Dad learned to butcher beef and hogs. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, few persons had cash, so farmers doing business with the store would bring in chickens, a few hogs, or some cattle to pay their yearly credit. Those animals were then butchered for inventory at the store by Granddaddy and my Dad. Dad also told another memory from his childhood. He and his friend, Blue Ward, used to go out to the Simmons Farm near Quaker Neck, and visit his grandparents-Neil John and Mary Charlotte Carmichael. Neil John Carmichael managed the plantation farm for Senator Simmons, who was an important Senator in Washington DC at the time. Daddy told me that Neil John Carmichael was the only person who called Daddy, Jack. That is where my older brothers nick-name came from. Being boys, Daddy and Blue would, on occasion, steel a few ripe watermelons and eat them in the field. Daddy laughed as he remembered lying to his Grandfather Neil John about these minor crimes (No, Granddaddy, we weren eating watermelon!). Of course Daddy remembered that they didn get away with it, since the watermelon seeds were all over their clothes! Three Years of Red I never knew Red. In fact, no one in Polloclksville ever knew Red, not really. While we know a bit about Dads early childhood, and we certainly know his later years, he was known as Red Bender only by the men he served with during World War II. Men at war frequently give each other nick-names and of course, that name came from Dads healthy stock of orange-red hair! Dad had been to college a while at UNC early in the war, and joined the Army Air Corps in 1943. Dad ended up flying in a B -24 Liberator Bomber with the 99th Bomb Group in the Pacific, and completed 23 combat bombing missions. He served through the end of the war. In 1943 he began his training as a flight engineer and waist gunner, firing a 50 cal. machine gun out the side of the aircraft. Dad joked that he might have been the only service man to bomb the state of Idaho during the war! During his training he was ushed through gunnery school in the northwest, because another flight continued... |
