Obit-Gonzales Inquirer Feb. 27, 1902
Mrs. G. W. Bending, a former resident of this city, passed away a Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. M. Fly, in Gonzales. During her stay here of a few years she drew to her by her fine character of love and charity towards all, a host of friends who will grieve to think that the light she shed upon the pathway of lite shines no more with that unflickering certainty of noble purpose and kindly deed which was the aim of her life and true condition of her lofty desires. To the three daughters who remain she leaves a royal heritage of not only good precepts but of grand examples. To the husband is left the consolation of her having been to him a comfort and joy, a stay and blessing, the influence of which lasts beyond the grave and into the City of the Blessed. Her friends here can not lay upon the grave the flowers that wither with the sun's first rays, but they place there in spirite the immortelles of love and an abiding remembrance of her many Christian virtues. -Austin Statesman
