A. B. Brender Was First White Settler in Old Mission 59 Years Ago
Alexander B. Brender the man who saw Cashmere grow from its beginning because he was the first setter here, died Saturday morning at his home up the canyon that bears his name, at the of 89. He took up a homestead there 59 years ago in the spring of 1881. At that time there was no other white man in the valley and but five white men in Wenatchee.
Bender was born August 24, 1851 in Gangen, Germany. He came to America when still a young man and with the pioneer blood strong in his veins, started west. He came over the trail from Ellensburg on horseback and chose this wilderness spot for his home. He first raised vegetables of all kinds and found a market for them at the Blewett mines. He planted and grew an orchard and raised cattle later going into the hay business with Ira Freer other old time settler. In 1887, he was married to Mrs. Phelps of Texas and to them four sons were born. She died in 1937.
Surviving are four sons, Charles, Bart, Jess and Pete Brender, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Honorary bearers were Matt Hickey, Pete Miller, Joel Treadwell, Felix Shaser all of Cashmere, George Brown of Wenatchee and Tom Parrish of Monitor. Active bearers were the grandsons, Walter, Clifford, Carl and Troy Brender, Ray Bourne and Del Therriault. During the services Hal and Les McManus sang "No Night There'' and "Beautiful Isle'' accompanied by Mrs. Jess Brender on the organ. Interment was in the Cashmere cemetery.
