George Washington Tincher, son of Rev. Hardin and Catherine Reese Tincher, was born in Morgan county August 6, 1847, and passed away at his home in Amo, April 12, 1927, having lived 79 years 8 months and 14 days [sic]. He was united in marriage to Rhoda Elma Benbow at her father's home in Amo, May 16, 1869, with whom he traveled life's journey almost 58 years. To them were born three children, Walter Rollie, who died March 27, 1875, Bertha May Rudd, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Judge Harry Elbert Tincher of Louisville, Ky. At a prayer meeting at the Amo Baptist church in April 1875, he was happily converted and united with the church the next business meeting and was baptized in the creek east of the church under the pastorate of Rev. Washington Sherrill, father of our own beloved Rev. Elijah Sherrill.
For thirty years he was chorister of the church, nine years was treasurer, and trustee for some years. He was faithful in church work until disease laid its hand upon him. For twelve years he was a great sufferer, but bore it with patience. In the Civil war, Mr. Tincher served under Capt. William S. King, company H, 382nd Indiana volunteers, and was honorably discharged, September 7, 1864. He was a member of the G. A. R. post of Amo. He leaves to mourn his going, his wife, son and daughter and two grandchildren--Kenneth T. Rudd, of Indianapolis, and Gladys Rudd, of Toledo, O, two brothers, John Tincher, of Coatesville, and Bennett Tincher, of Hadley. Funeral services were held in Amo Baptist church, April 14, at 2 p.m., conducted by his pastor, Rev. P. A. Bryant, whose text was: There is but a step between me and death." A quartet composed of Frank McCormick, Fred Wall, Fred Shirley and Orion Hadley, with Elsie Phillips at the piano, sang "The Old Rugged Cross," "One by One Our Friends Are Going," and "Lead Me Gently Home, Father." Pall bearers were Henry Pettit, Luke Duffey, Elso Fritchie, Wiley Reese, Orville Dyer and Oscar Benbow. After the sermon, J. B. Marshall, of Danville, of the G. A. R. gave a touching tribute. The burial was in Amo cemetery, and the American Legion had charge of the beautiful service at the grave.
