  OBITUARY Mr G. W: Bensemann. By the death of Mr G. W: Bensemann, which occurred on Good Friday, the Upper Moutere district has lost one of its pioneers and a useful public man. Mr Bensemann was born in Nelson in 1847, his parents coming here from Germany. After some years' residence in town the family moved to the Moutere. Mr Bensemann, with his brother Frederick, was engaged for many years in the sawmilling business, combined with farming. He had the misfortune to lose his left arm while in the sawmill, a heavy handicap which left him undaunted, and he continued to not only carry on his business, but his interest in public affairs was unabated. He was chairman of the School Committee and a member of the Road Board for a score of years, and for fully thirty years he was a churchwarden of tho Lutheran Church. Of later years, Mr. Bensemann confined his attention to farming. Death followed upon an illness of several months, and was not unexpected. He left a widow and eight children, all grown up, three sons, Messrs Conrad, Rudolf,and Joseph Bensemann, and five daughters, Mesdames Schroeder (Ranzau), Blaess (Australia), Eggers (Wakapuaka), and two who are unmarried. The funeral on Sunday last was largely attended, the Rev. G. F. Hoyer conducting the burial service. Source: Colonist, 1 April 1910, Page 2.
