The 1880 Census at Baresville (Hannibal) list Christian Mender age 12 as living with Casper Eisenbarth. I suspect this is Christian Bendel who is likely Casper's grandchild. I also suspect he may be also the grandson of Christopher Bendel born 1822 and buried at the Mount Zion Church near Hannibal. Christopher had a son Jacob b. ca 1862 Does anyone have any information on the Bendel family.
