Death of John A. Martindale
Mr. John A. Martindale, of Addison township, long known and respected as an honorable good citizen died this Saturday morning, August 8, 1903, at 3 o’clock at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Jesse James, of Kyger, aged about 78 years.
His funeral will be preached by Rev. W. J. Fulton at 10 o’clock Sunday. He was an old soldier, a good citizen and had been Justice of the Peace and held other positions of trust, and was a man well liked by all who knew him.
He left three sons and three daughters, his wife dying several years ago. Only a part of his children can be here to attend the last sad rites of an affectionate father whom they loved and with whom they parted with regret.
