"HENDLER.-At Pottsville, on Sunday morning, November 2, 1902, Henry J. Hendler, in the seventy-ninth year of his age.
Funeral from his late residence, No. 12, South Centre St., on Wednesday morning, November 5, at 9:30 o'clock."

"CAPT. HENDLER CALLED TO REST
The death of Capt. H. J. Hendler occurred yesterday morning at 7:40 o'clock. His serious condition had been previously noted in these columns and when the "Republican" went to press Saturday it was known to be only of hours when he should breathe his last. Pneumonia had him in its grasp and as the disease progressed it became more and more evident that he must succumb. Nevertheless, the announcement of his death Sunday morning was a shock to his friends and relatives, prepared as they were for the blow.
Capt. Hendler was a close friend of Francis Alatatt, who died on the 20th of Sept., last. They were about the same age, were born in the same village in Germany, and both were alike, highly esteemed in this, the town of their adoption. It is believed that grief over Mr. Alatatt's death hastened Capt. Hendler's taking away.
Capt. Hendler was a son of John A. and Eva Elizabeth (Heil) Hendler, and was born in Grossenlueder, Kreiss Fulda, Germany, Sept. 11, 1824. He attended the schools of his native place in Germany until 13 years of age, when he emigrated to the United States, landing August 5, 1839, in New York City, whence he proceeded to Philadelphia. From that place he took passage on a boat over the Schuylkill canal to Pottsville, where he has since resided. On his arrival here he apprenticed himself to Joseph Klein for a term of four years to learn the trade of a shoemaker. He continued working at his trade until 1852 when he was mail agent for the P. & R. Rwy., in which capacity he served until 1861. It was during his service in this capacity in 1853, that he assisted in the establishment of the German paper known as the "Jefferson Demokrat". This paper was published under the firm name of Hendler & Schrader until 1866, when Mr. Hendler formed a partnership with J. W. Schrader and C. N. Barkly, under the firm name of H. J. Hendler & Co., and added to the above publication that of the Pottsville Standard, which publication he assisted in editing and managing from their inception until 1874, when he retired from the firm.
In 1861, at the outbreak of the civil war he responded to President Lincoln's first call for troops and went to the front. He was captain of the Washington Yeagers, which afterwards became Co. F. Sixth Regt. P. V. I., and for three months participated in the engagements of his regiment in Virginia, at the end of which term he returned home on account of business cares. Capt. Hendler was a staunch Democrat and took a lively and intelligent interest in the success of the party's policies. In 1863 he was elected treasurer of Schuylkill county for a term of two years. During his tenure in office $2,250.00 (sic) passed through his hands, a sum $137,000 in excess of the amount handled by the county from its organization to that time. During the next 11 years he was retained as a deputy treasurer, making his period of public service over 13 years. He retired from active business in 1878, and since that time devoted his time to private matters and the enjoyment of a well earned rest. He was a member of Gowen Post No. 23 G. A. R., of which he was senior vice commander for a term.
Capt. Hendler was joined to wedlock with Margaret Mary A. Garner, at Pottsville on April 13, 1846. His wife and the following children survive: They are Mrs. Charles Hack, Henry A., Mrs. Hamilton Lloyd, Laura, Charles T., Alice C., Leonora and Mrs. J. F. James. The following are deceased. Sophia S., who was the wife of Dr. W. C. J. Smith, of St. Clair, and Ella and Anna.
Capt. Hendler, by his energy, perseverance and inherent thrift, acquired for himself a comfortable competency and won the good graces of his fellow townsmen. He was a sturdy patriot, and it was only last Thursday a week that he attended the inspection of Gowen Post and sang "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," in a remarkably strong and clear voice. His death is a great loss to the community.
The survivors of Co. F, Sixth Regt., P. V. I., who served during the war with Capt. Hendler are as follows:
Henry Oswald, Pottsville; William Landefeld, Ashland; John Landefeld, Pottsville; Joseph Brown, Cressonia; J. Hohnmann, Mechanicsville; Charles Gessler, E. Gessler, William Gallaghan, Fishbach; Thomas Drobil, Manayunk; John Kleindinst, Mahanoy City, Adam Mager, Pottsville; Francis Remer, Ashland; Conrad Stoffregen, Fishbach; Charles Zapf, Minersville; Richard Brennan and Peter Broschen, Grand Rapids.
The funeral Wednesday morning will doubtless be largely attended. The members of Gowen Post will attend in full uniform, and the Third Brigade will also be present. Solemn High Mass will be celebrated at St. John's church."
"DEATH OF CAPTAIN HENDLER
Capt. Henry J. Hendler has answered the last roll call. He passed peacefully away yesterday morning while surrounded by his wife and members of his family. A devoted husband, a doting father, a kind friend and a patriotic citizen has gone to his reward. He finished his race with honor. He enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all who knew him, and the number of his friends and acquaintances is legion. No man was more ready to give a helping hand, a word of encouragement and counsel to those who needed them than he. A man of wide research and broad in his opinions, he was a power among the people, and especially so among his German countrymen. He was a fluent and forceful speaker, and wielded a trenchant pen. He demonstrated these talents upon the rostrum and in the editorial chair. His well known form is already missed upon the streets, upon which he loved to stroll to mingle with his many friends. He enjoyed society and society had pleasure in his presence. He has gone from us, but his name will be remembered and revered so long as the lives of his friends are preserved. May the All Wise Providence sustain the widow, his helpmate for nearly threescore years, and their children in this, their hour of great affliction."
