"Born and raised in Roaring Creek, Columbia Co, PA. When his father died, he moved to Pottsville and worked as a miller and was appointed a member of the Pottsville police force and followed that until the breaking out of the Civil War.
He was in a great many engagements as a cavalryman and fought throughtout the terrible battles and skirmishes of the Shenandoah valley.
In the battle of Cedar Creek while in a cavalry charge, a bullet passed entirely through his coat and vest, but he never noticed it until after the battle.
Mr. Lindemuth was also a bodyguard of and a carrier of dispatches for General Sheridan, was one of his attendants during that famous ride from Winchester 20 miles away that is famed in verse and song, and was one of the cavalrymen who assisted in checking the retreat on that great day.
Mr. Lindemuth had an enviable record as a brave soldier.
After the war he returned to Pottsville and resumed his old position on the police force and held it until twelve years ago, when he came to Ashley, and since has assisted in the business of his son, Eden, in his paint and paper hanging store on Main Street.
He was a familiar figure on the street, driving an old white horse, invariably accompanied by his little grandson, whom he loved affectionately.
He was a member of the P.O.S. of A., also a member of Conyngham Post, G.A.R.; Ashley Veterans' Association.
In his death Ashley loses a noble, honest citizen. He received during his illness the greatest care at the home of his son, Eden, assisted by his daughter-in-law and everything that a loving daughter-in-law and son could do for him was done, and he quietly passed away in the arms of his afflicted son, to join his comrades and generals in the great beyond.
The members of the Master House Painters and Decorators' Association of Wilkes-Barre and vicinity are requested to attend the funeral of the father of Brother E. Lindermuth, to be held at Ashley, Monday at 3 p.m. D.M. Frantz, president."
