Local Richland County Periodical August 17, 1931
Body Found Early Monday Morning.

John Jacob Lindler, 40, New Brookland, employe (sic) of the Broad River Power 
company, ended his own life some time early Monday morning by shooting himself 
through the head in his garage at the rear of his home over the river.  The body 
was found about 6 o'clock and it is thought that the shooting occurred about 
daybreak.  
Mr. Lindler left a note in his pocket telling of his desire to "end it all" and 
of his despondency.  Near his body lay a 32 caliber pistol.  
The sound of the fatal shot was heard by several neighbors who lived near the 
home but they were not conscious that anything serious had occurred.  Going to 
the garage about 6 o'clock his daughter, Annie Mae, found the body on a canvas 
which he had spread on the ground.  She immediately informed other members of 
the family.  Mr. Lindler is survived by his mother, Mrs. Maggie Justus of Red 
Bank; his widow, the former Miss Carrie Corley; six daughters, Inez, Annie Mae, 
Kitty, Alice and Louise; three sons, William, James and a three-day-old infant; 
two sisters, Mrs. A. C. Corder of Rockingham, N.C. and Mrs. Martha Koon of 
Pomaria; two half-sisters Mrs. Laura Walters of Stilmore, Ga., and Mrs. Janie 
Epting of Columbia.  
Mr. Lindler had been with the Broad River Power company since last spring.  He 
repaired street car lines.  
Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock this morning from Mount Hebron 
Lutheran church near Delmar, nine miles north of Lexington, of which he was a 
member, with the Rev. C.J. Morgan in charge.  Interment will be in the 
churchyard.
