Lake Odessa Wave, 26 Apr 1912

As was stated last week in the mention of Mr. Lindley’s death the funeral was 
held at the Congregational church Sunday afternoon there being a large number 
in attendance.  In his stay here he had made a host of friends a great many of 
whom turned out to pay their last respects.  Rev. Prestidge who had been a 
great friend of the deceased delivered a very fine sermon.  The music which 
also was very good was furnished by a mixed quartette composed of Mesdames O. 
C. Russ and A. B. Usborne and Messrs Wm. Gilson and Stanley W. Dann accompanied 
by Mrs. C. W. Slosson.  Interment was made in Lakeside cemetery.

Those from out of town who were in attendance at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. 
Loren Mote of Saranac, Miss Verda Mote of Mason, Mr. and Mrs. John Reamer oaf 
Clarksville and C. C. Busick of Red Bank, N. J.

Mr. Lindley was a clothing man of extended experience being considered, by the 
firm whose employ he had been in Chicago for 16 years, previous to their coming 
here, one of the best salesman in the business.

It was while in their employ that he had a blood clot form on his brain causing 
a partial paralysis, thus it was that after his recovery he was forced to come 
to the country for his health.  But eventually the old trouble was to come back 
as it did a week ago Sunday evening in the form of total paralysis but he 
lingered on till Thursday morning when death came and carried him away from the 
bonds of that dread disease.

He was an exceptionally well read man having made a study of all writers of any 
prominence and so was able to converse on any subject.

Obituary

Charles Herbert Lindley was born in Indianapolis, Ind., June 5, 1859.  When 
eight years of age he moved with his parents to Chicago.  March 5, 1895 he was 
united in marriage with Miss Mary Busick also of Chicago.  In 1900 they moved 
to Lake Odessa where they resided until Mr. Lindley’s death which occurred 
Thursday morning Apr. 18.  Mr. Lindley’s efficiency and faithfulness is shown 
by the fact that while a resident of Chicago he was identified with one 
clothing firm as salesman for 16 years and during his residence of 12 years 
here he made many friends because of his genial courteous manner and his kindly 
interest in all.

He leaves to mourn their loss a wife other relatives and many friends.
