A.C. BRINDLE DEAD.
Former Bank Cashier Dies at Mechanicsburg Aged Sixty-One Years.
MECHANICSBURG, PA., Sept. 23.
At about one o'clock this morning Abner C. Brindle died at his home in this place. Mr. Brindle was taken suddenly ill with vertigo while attending the Indian School commencement in March, 1897, and although he apparently recovered from this attack, he never regained the same robust health which he had previously enjoyed. For several months past he had been suffering with kidney trouble, and there seemed to be a general breaking down of the system. Mr. Brindle was born in Monroe township sixty-one years ago, and when quite a young man moved to Mechanicsburg, where he entered the First National bank (sic).
He was connected with the bank until about six weeks ago, when his failing health caused him to resign his position as cashier, which he had filled for thirty years. Mr. Brindle has been one of the most prominent and substantial citizens of our town, and will be greatly missed by all our citizens. He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Egbert, of Carlisle, and one son, C. Egbert Brindle. The funeral will probably be held on Tuesday, but arrangements have not yet been completed.

Mechanicsburg, Sept. 23. - After a lingering illness A.C. Brindle expired at his home in this place at 1 o'clock this (Friday) morning. His death was not unexpected, because for the past month his condition had been such as to give his friends the assurance that the end was rapidly drawing night. His death was a peaceful one, as though he was but falling asleep for a night's rest.
The deceased was born in Monroe township, Cumberland county (sic), September 17, 1837, and at the time of his death was in the 62nd year of his age. His childhood days were spent on his father's farm, attending the country schools, doing the chores of the farm, and when he increased in years he clerked in the Churchtown stores. Later on he went to Philadelphia and entered into the employ of a wholesale tobacco establishment.
Here he remained until 1864 when he was elected teller in the Carlisle Bank. In 1865 he assumed the same position in the First National Bank of Mechanicsburg, and in 1868 he was elected to the more responsible position of cashier, which position he held until a month or two ago, when he was compelled to resign because of ill health.
The deceased was a man of the highest character. This is testified to by his long connection with the banking interests of the town. He had a genial disposition that made him the center of a large circle of friends. He always endeavored to so treat those with whom he came in contact, that no one be inured by the association, and that all might think it a credit to be classed a friend. He was identified with the interests of the town, and his advice was much sought after. His passing away has removed from our midst a gentleman of exceptionable high character, and there are many who mourn his death and sympathize with the bereaved family. At this writing no definite arrangements have been made for the funeral. We understand, however, the interment will be in Carlisle.
