Henry Stender is a member of the Holstein, Germany, colony, which may be said to be a section of that old-world province transplanted within the limits of being Hans and Margaret (Harder) Stender, good German citizens how followed farming and passed their whole lives in their native land. They had the following five children: Dietlieb, who died in Germany; Lina, a resident in Germany; Henry of this sketch; Julius, who came to the United States in 1884 and is at present a citizen of Montana, and Mary, who died in Germany.
When a young man twenty years of age, Henry Stender came to the new world as so many of his associates had done before him. He first set foot on American soil June 27, 1874, no doubt a somewhat forlorn and doubtful youth, for he had been courageous enough to come quite alone. By advice, he journeyed west to Scott county, Iowa, and was so well pleased with the associations he formed here that he has remained ever since. For the first seven years he earned his livelihood as a farm hand and then found himself in a position to contemplate matrimony. Upon his marriage in 1881 he began the cultivation of a rented farm and was engaged in this fashion for the next eight years. In 1888 he purchased the farm upon which he now resides, a tract of two hundred acres located in section 28, Hickory Grove township, and at present a fine piece of property in a high state of improvement. He prospered sufficiently to add to his holdings a farm of one hundred and twenty acres on section 35, the same township, which he rents to another.
Mr. Stender was married in 1881 to Miss Cecelia Arp, a native of Hickory Grove township, where she was born May 1, 1860, and where she has always made her home. Her parents were Hans and Abel (Vieths) Arp, natives of Holstein, Germany. Her father came to America when eighteen years of age and her mother, who was born June 4, 1834, passed away January 12, 1906. To Mr. And Mrs. Stender have been born seven children: Hans, who died at the age of three months; Amanda, who died when one year old; Louis, at home; Rudolph, residing at Avoca, where he holds the position of assistant cashier of the Avoca Sate Bank; Hugo, Henry, and Hilda, at home.
Mr. Stender gives loyal support to the men and principles of the democratic party. He has been honored with several of the public trusts and for the past decade has been treasurer of the Fairview school district, No. 3. for two years he has been one of the directors of the Farmers Savings Bank of Walcott. His life record is inspiring, for without means he came to a strange land and has become a man of influence and property.
