Obituary, newspaper unknown
The sudden death of Enoch Tindall, Sunday, was a great surprise to everybody. Sunday morning he occupied his pew in the Presbyterian Church and was in one of the Bible classes in Sabbath-school. He said that he felt better than usual and spoke of enjoying especially the services. Within one-half hour from the time Sabbath-school was out, he was found in his easy chair, dead. He came home, placed his Bible on the desk and sat down to rest and the long rest came. Mr. Tindall was born near Lawrenceville, NJ., July 13, 1819 and came with his Father and Mother to Tecumseh in 1831, where he has since resided. He spent some time in the dry goods business, was in the elevator business for a number of years and served as the first station agent after the Lake Shore was extended through the village. He was married in 1843 to Miss Aurora D. Emerson, whol lived but a few months. In Jan. 1851, he married Mrs. Caroline L. Graves, who bore him one child, J. Henry Tindall, now of Denver, CO. Ten years ago Mrs. Tindall died. Since then he has lived alone, often expressing a desire to be at rest. At the age of 12 he united with the Presbyterian Church and for 65 years has been identified with its work. For many years he served as elder and clerk of the session. The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon from the church where a large number of friends gathered to pay their respects. The session of the Church acted as bearers. His body was laid to rest beside those he loved and for whom he longed. Thus one by one the old pioneers pass away. Before many years all those who saw the infancy of the village will have been gathered home.
