OBITUARY
----------
Job D. Tindall,
son of Isaac and
Amelia Tindall, was born June 17, 1820, and died October 1, 1901, aged 81 years, 3 months and 14 days. He
was united in marriage to Susanna Warner October 9, 1845. To this happy union was born fourteen children,
four sons and ten daughters. Eight of his children survive him, but six daughters, three dying in infancy and three
leaving families, have gone before him and were there to greet his coming. He came from Scott county, Kentucky,
to this State, and with his parents settled opposite where the Winchester M.E. church now stands in 1833, where
he lived until 1851 and then moved to the old home place. His last move was to Waldron where he with his
faithful companion retired from farm life about ten years ago. Together they united with the Winchester M.E.
church in 1849. And when in possession of health sufficient, their places were always filled in the old home church.
Their concern for the church was no mere sentiment, they gave her their loyal support, both by their means,
prayers, sacrifices and tears. They have been constant readers of the church paper, the Western Christian
Advocate for over 50 years. It is not too much to say that Job D. Tindall has maintained through life, not
only character above reproach, but some of his chief characteristics, such as honesty, charity, temperance and
patriotism, with many other virtues, has been sufficient to make him, not only a remarkable character in many respects,
but a true man in all. As a citizen he will be greatly missed, both by the community here and throughout
the county. His life has covered the greater part of the greatest century in the world's history, he has
actually lived to see the population of this country increase from about twenty million to nearly four times that
amount, he was born but a few years after Indiana became a State, and has lived to see her take her place as one
of the foremost States of the Union, he has lived to see the perfection of, not only the steamboat, but the great
railroad systems, and the electric era, telegraph, telephone, phonograph and he has lived to see the banner of
freedom established, not only in America, but on the other side of the globe, he has lived in the century that
has almost fulfilled the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature."
He has not lived for self alone, more than a dozen orphan children bless the memory of these two servants of God.
For when there was no one else to do it, then the home of Job and Susanna Tindall was opened to them and they were
permitted to enjoy the tender and generosity of a man and woman whose hearts God had made big with sympathy for
the fatherless and motherless and whose ears could not be deaf to the plantive orphans. And now beside his
faithful wife who has stood by his side in all reverses to cheer him, and in victories to rejoice with him, he
leaves 8 children, 38 grandchildren, one brother George M. Tindall, a host of other friends relatives and
neighbors to attest to his sterling worth, as husband, father, brother, friend, neighbor and citizen. May
the mantel of these two saints of God fall upon their children and friends.

OBITUARY
----------
"Across my day the shadow creeping
Brought the unwelcome night
The distant hills the last gleams keeping
Of dear familiar light
Slowly became a darkened wall around and soon
The world, with all its loved and wonted sight was gone.
"Ah, light that made such sweet revealing
That showed this world so bright
You gave no hint you was concealing
The greater wealth of night!
For now, above and far beyond the hills, appear
Ten thousand worlds I did not dream before were here."
Brought the unwelcome night
The distant hills the last gleams keeping
Of dear familiar light
Slowly became a darkened wall around and soon
The world, with all its loved and wonted sight was gone.
"Ah, light that made such sweet revealing
That showed this world so bright
You gave no hint you was concealing
The greater wealth of night!
For now, above and far beyond the hills, appear
Ten thousand worlds I did not dream before were here."
And thus to the weeping friends does death reveal
more of what Heaven holds of their treasure, but out from God's infinte love a blaze of light and comfort flows
because their dead hath died in all the triumphs of a living faith.
His Pastor, T. J. Anthony
