Sunday afternoon at the Nofsinger chapel, funeral services for Benjamin Clay Schindorff, late of the East Lynne vicinity, whose death at El Cerrito, Calif., was noted in this paper last week, were conducted by the Rev. L. K. Armentrout. Burial was in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, pallbearers being Earl Nicholls, Theo. Mehrer, Archie Schmoll, Tom Schindorff, John Heitz, Hollis Dale.

The Rev. and Mrs. Armentrout sang "No Night There," "Those Golden Bells and" Sometime We'll Understand." Accompanist was Mrs. Gilbert Burr.

Mr. Schindorff, born near East Lynne, June 13, 1891, was the youngest of the 10 children of Paul and Cornelia Schindorff. Member of the East Lynne Christian Church and veteran of the first World War, he was married Oct. 31, 1918, to Miss Minnie Brady, of the same neighborhood, by whom he is survived.

Mr. Schindorff also leaves a sister, Mrs. Lillie McGee; four brothers, Eugene, Julius and Herman Schindorff, all of Pleasant Hill, and William, Kansas City. Two sisters are dead; they were Mrs. Minnie Moore and Mrs. May Warner.

Clay, as he was generally known, spent most of his life in Cass County, but was for a while in South Missouri. He and Mrs. Schindorff left this community in October, 1943, going to California in hope that a change of climate would bring improvement in his health, but that hope faded and he died on Dec. 17, at the age of 53. Short services were held at Albany, Calif., for the benefit of relatives and friends in that area, and Mrs. Schindorff then accompanied the body to Pleasant Hill.

Mr. Schindorff was a good man, his death marks a community loss, as well as a dire loss to his own family.
