Ben Hyndman died yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his home, at the age of 54 years. Hyndman, who was the son of the late Robert Hyndman, for many years an employee of the Alton Woolen Mills, was known as the "Popcorn King" through the raising of a fine grade of popcorn. Hyndman was single, and is survived by his mother, Mrs. Eliza Hyndman, two brothers, John of Texas and Robert of Dorsey Station, and by a sister, Miss Jennie Hyndman. The funeral will be held from the Jacoby Undertaking parlors of this city, but the time of the services has not been set, awaiting word from John Hyndman. The family moved away from Alton many years ago, but will be well remembered by old time friends. Hyndman died at the family home at Dorsey Station.
