Charles F., son OF john ana
Sarah Auckler Lindimore, was born
in Bristol township on the farm now
owned by Mr.. Kalb, April 5, 1888,
and died at his home near the Meigs
church soon after midnight of the
morning Of Dec. %, 1921, aged 88
years, months and IS days. He
was twice married, first to Lucinda
Beall, June 20, 1854, who died July
20, of the same year; then to Isa-
bella Greer, Dec. 26, 1861, to which
union were born two children-C.
e. of the home and AIDA Delano
Newell who died in 1906. Besides
the SON mentioned he is survived by
two granddaughters, Mrs. Ottobelle
Cope of Akron and Mrs. Loah Moore
of Gibson City, ILL.,, and four great
grandchildren. His last days while
filled with terrible suffering. were
borue patiently. To few men 1t is al
lotted to live so long and retain
their physical and mental abilities
as he did. We remember last sum-
mer when we met to work neigh.
boris corn he was there with his hoe
and made men much younger step
along to keep up, and 1t was done
ALs
known by a host of people, was al
ways genial. The writer has known
him through our boyhOod when we
form opinions of men. We liked
him then and never had occasion to
change our mind. A man who was
interested in the sports OF young
folks couldn't get old. While he
had been identified with the church
some so years, you didn't have to
hunt up the church record to know
about him.
The funeral was held Dec. Is at
the Meigs church, conducted by El-
der Norm. Interment was made in
the church cemetery. We have NO
doubt that a man who enjoyed life
here as he did, is leading the boys
over where it's all pleasures.-XX.

borne without a murmur the
knowledge of her illness. Her WISH
that she might close her eyes TO
awake in heaven was realized.
