Frank Hyndman Dies, Collapse Caused by Heat Succumbs at Masonic Home in Sullivan at Age of 64. Frank Huston Hyndman, for many years a resident of Alton, died at 7:15 o'clock this morning at the Masonic home in Sullivan, Ill., where he had been staying for the last six years. He was 64 years of age. The death of Mr. Hyndman was attributed to a collapse caused by the intense heat.
He had been in bad health for many years, and for most of the time had been almost helpless. At the time his wife became seriously ill and was requiring constant attention herself, Mr. Hyndman was taken to the Masonic Home in Sullivan where he could receive constant care he required. His wife died before him, though she had long nursed him after he was taken ill.
Mr. Hyndman came of a well-known Alton family. He was a son of Thomas Hyndman, who for many years was connected with the C & A railroad at the old roundhouse, as foreman, and he was a brother of Thomas Hyndman, of 1929 Alby Street.
He leaves one daughter, Mrs. George Roberts, who was formerly Miss Harriett Hyndman, for a long time a popular exponent of athletics and physical training for girls in Alton.
On receipt of word that Mr. Hyndman's death was imminent early this morning, Mrs. Roberts, accompanied by her aunt, Miss Dorothy Burns, left this morning for Sullivan in hope of reaching him before the end would come. They were only fairly started on their journey when the second message came that Mr. Hyndman had died.
For years, and up to the time of his break in health which disabled him for further activity, Mr. Hyndman was a local representative of the National Biscuit Co.
The body will be brought back to Alton for burial and the funeral will be from the home of his sister-in-law, Miss Burns, 1624 Central Avenue.
Mr. Hyndman was a member of Piasa Lodge No. 27, A.F. & A.M.
