OBITUARY

1909

MRS. CATHARINE LINDEMUTH

The oldest pioneer lady in the county has passed to the "great beyond".
        Mrs. Catharine Lindemuth, nee Henning, wife of John Lindemuth, 
(deceased), was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, April 17, 1810 and 
died at the home of her son, John Lindemuth, west of Greenville, at 2:45 
o'clock Tuesday morning, January 26th. 1909, of old age.
        The deceased, with her husband, came to Darke county in 1840 
and has lived on the farm where she resided ever since. She was a 
most estimable pioneer lady and highly respected.
        When they took possession of the farm west of Greenville, there 
was but five acres of timber cut off, yet in the sixty-nine years she has 
resided upon it, she saw it improved well and saw her family grow up to 
manhood and womanhood. She saw a generation grow up and pass 
away.
        She was baptized in infancy and during her youth united with the 
Evangelical Lutheran Church and remained true and faithful member 
until death.
        She has fought the battle of life alone for thirty years past, when 
her husband preceded her to the world beyond.
        She leaves to mourn her loss several children; three sons and 
four daughters; three children having preceded her in death. She is also 
survived by 34 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren, besides a host 
of relatives and friends.
        The surviving members of the family are Mrs. Elizabeth Wagner, 
Mrs. Susannah Harp, Mr. William Lindemuth, Mrs. Catharine Russ, Mrs. 
Louisa Enochs of Marion, Indiana, John Lindemuth and Josiah 
Lindemuth.
        Funeral was held from the Dininger Church Thursday afternoon at 
2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Benzine, pastor of St. John's Lutheran 
Church. Interment in the Dininger Cemetery.
