TINDELL OBITUARIES, Henry County, Missouri
====================================================================

TINDELL, William 1870 - 1893

Died, January 20, 1893, William Tindell; son of William and Tilatha Tindell of 
Urich, Mo., aged 22 years, 10 months and 8 days. The subject of our memoir was 
born in Lafayette county, Mo., March 12, 1870, and with his parents removed to 
Henry county about ten years ago. He was the youngest of three brothers. The 
other two, John, of Kansas City, and Jasper, of Sedalia, were at his bedside when 
the messenger of death summoned him home. The life of Willie was almost a life 
of affliction, but Job-like, he bore it patiently to the end. At the age of 18, he 
had a hard spell of fever, which settled in one of his lower limbs and made him a 
cripple to the day of his death. A few years after he was attacked with Brights 
disease, which shattered his remaining faculties of health, the ravages of which 
is supposed to have ended his career on earth. His home had always continued 
with his devoted father and mother, who with anxious and tender care, had 
watched over him in his many years of affliction. He was their youngest - the 
idol - which attachment had so tenderly bound their affections to. Relatives and 
friends had he many, and the beaming countenance of Willie shed its rays of light 
upon all. He was a nephew of Uncle John Dunaway, one of our most esteemed 
citizens, and often would he frequent our neighborhood, the haunts of childhood 
days. Three years ago he professed religion, but had never attached himself to 
any church. He led an exemplary life, and seemed not to dread the finale, when his 
afflictions might cease and his soul be at rest. The funeral sermon was preached 
by Rev. L. Brown of the Baptist Church, who depicted in pathetic terms the career 
of one who had so patiently borne up through days of long suffering? He was laid 
to rest in Carrsville cemetery, Sunday, Jan. 22, 1893, to await the resurrection 
morn. The parents of the deceased wish to return their heartfelt thanks to 
friends who sympathized with them in their sad bereavement.


TINDELL, William W. 1826 - 1914

William W. Tindell died at the home of J. S. Tabor in this city on Thursday, 
February 12, 1914, age 88 years and 1 month. Mr. Tindell was born in Tennessee 
January 12, 1826. His father died while the son was yet a small boy, and when 18 
years old, in 1844, he came with his mother and another brother to Henry county, 
Missouri. In 1854 he was married to Talitha Dunaway, who died in 1901. To this 
union three sons were born, Jasper N. and John, who live in Kansas City, and 
William, who died about 15 years ago. Mr. Tindell entered from the government a 
part of what is known as the J. W. Mix farm, which was his home for several 
years. He spent a part of the troublous years of the civil war in Davies county, 
Missouri, and with that exception Henry County has been his home for 70 years. 
Since the death of his wife--and before that time--he was in poor health, and for 
several years has required constant attention, which he has received at the...
