Latrobe Bulletin Thu, Mar 20, 1924
Lewis Brindle Is the Victim of Heart Disease 
Stricken while sitting in a chair in his bed room, E. Lewis Brindle. one of
Latrobe's best known and most substantial citizens, died at 4 o'clock, this
morning, at his residence, No. 214 Walnut street. He was in his 76th year at the
time of his death. Though he had been in failing health for some time the death
of Mr. Brindle came unexpectedly. He had attended services in the Christ
Reformed church last Sunday, and had been about as usual yesterday. Last night
came the first warning that his condition was not as good as it had been. Before
retiring he complained of feeling ill, but it was thought that it might be
merely a slight indisposition. This morning, while sitting in a chair in his bed
room, he suddenly slumped down and died shortly after. Heart failure is believed
to have been the cause of his death. During his many years residence in Latrobe,
Mr. Brindle had gained for himself many friends. He was a director of the
Peoples Bank, of this place, and was an elder in the Reformed church, having
been a member of this denomination practically throughout his life-time. A son
of the late Jacob and Margaret Brindle, of Unity township, he was reared on a
farm near Baggaley and he was devoted to agriculture until he came to Latrobe to
take up the pursuit of a business career. He first conducted a store, on Depot
St., with A. S. Kepple as a partner, and later the business was moved to the
brindle Bldg. on Ligonier street. While the store was still situated on this
street Mr. Brindle sold out his entire interest to his partner. His life, from
that time on, however, was not one of retirement, for he made daily trips to the
farm in Unity township, in order to superintend its work, while he also was
active in other interests. Mr. Brindle was married to Miss Rachel Lohr, of
Jenners, Somerset county, 52 years ago. His widow and two children, Mrs. Alice
Hartsell and Barry Brindle, both of Latrobe, survive him. In addition to his
immediate family he is also survived by the following grandchildren: Lewis and
Helen Hartzell and Margaret, Lewis, Marion and Harry Brindle, Jr. Funeral
services will be conducted at the late residence at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, in
charge of Rev. Raezer. Interment will follow in the Unity Cemetery.
