To The Members OF The LindimoPe
Family
In reading the account of the Lin
dimore reunion of Aug. 25, 1929,
| find the account of the landing in
America of our grandfather John
Lindimore is not the version | re-
ceived from my father VIM. Lindir
more, my aunt Elizabeth L. Whit
ney and my uncles Edward and Hen
ry Lindimore.
The version given me in my girl
hood by the above mentioned, is as
follows: The sailing vessel on which
John Lindimore sailed from Europe
was wrecked near Baltimore, Md,
and his parents lost. He and his
sister Catherine, few years older
than he, were rescued from the sink
| ing vessel. John who was about four
years old was taken into the home
| of a German family, whose name /
| do not know, where he lived until he
was about seven years of age. He
| had by that time learned the Ger
man language. At that time he was
adopted by family by the name of
Jones, where he lived until grown.
He learned the English language
from the Jones family. After he
had grown to manhood, he left Bal
| timore for time, but returned and
married Sarah Osler Of his sister
| Catherine we know but little, al
though / have heard my aunt Eliza
beth Whitney speak of her many
times. My father had some cousins
named Odell, living in or near Bal
timore, but / am not sure they were
cousins of my grandmother's family,
or if they were the children of the
sister Catherine. Who will help us
find the line of Odells. that we may
know if we are correct in our belief
that the Odell family are the de-
scendants of the missing sister Cath
crime.
My cousins William and Hiram
Lindimore, sons of Henry, and also
cousin Sarah Whitney Campbell and
| have often discussed what had
been related to us regarding the
landing in Baltimore of our grand
father Uncle Edward L. lived with
my parents for time, and / have
often heard them talk of the child
hood of my grandfather.
We have even doubted if the spell
ing of his name was correct, as he
was only four years old when res
cued. We do not find the name as
spelled in any history of the immi-
grants from Europe, although we
find Lindemann and Lindemoyer,
and they are of Scandinavian origin.
Those who SO often spoke of him in
the past, never knew from what
part of Europe he came. | hope /
do not offend anyone by sending in
my version, but we discussed it so
many times that l am sure I have
never forgotten any of the important
! points of the account.-Sarah L.
! De Laney, New Cambria, Kan.
(! The fair is over. In spite of the
rain, mud and all the bad luck, the
management has nothing to be sor-
ry Of, as we'll as exhibitors They
! had placed the best display on ex-
! hibition that was ever on the
grounds. Folks from other counties,
as they registered, told us "your
fair is better than ours" We have
seen So out of the last 53. Who can
| beat it?

Infant Dies After Few Hours Illness
Clarence Edgar, son of s. S. and
Mary Howard Sines, was born June
IA, 1929, and died Sept. IA, 1929,
aged three months. Besides the par
ents, he is survived by six brothers
and three sisters-James, Howard,
Dale, Agnes. Gerald, Evelyn, Carl,
| Leona and Robert; also two grand
fathers, one grandmother, and one
great grandmother. While he had
not lived to command armies, con-
quer worlds, or do any of the many
things that win honor for men OF
! this age, he had lived long enough
/ to win a place in the hearts of the
! family circle, and all who knew the
little fellow After all, he has in the
short span won all--Heaven. The
little one was taken suddenly i'll
at O'Clock, Friday evening, and
died at 8:45 Saturday evening Fu-
neral services were held Monday, at

Rev. Kendle, with interment in the
church cemetery.
