VETERAN RAILROAD MAN DIES
With deep regret we note the passing away of Mr. R. H. (Dick) Lindsey, which occurred on Friday morning, December 30, 1927, about three o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. Fred Hess on north Main street, where he had roomed for about ten years.
He had been in usual health and able to be about until a few days before his demise, when he suffered an attack of heart trouble. He was apparently getting along all right when a hemorrhage developed and he died within a few minutes before a physician could be summoned. During his illness he was given every care and comfort by Mrs. Hess and family.
The remains were removed to the Beardsley Funeral Home where funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. I. Dool, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, were held on Sunday morning at nine o'clock, after which interment took place in the Chariton cemetery. There were a number of beautiful floral tributes, including emblems from the railroad employees and the Hess family and others.
Remembrance H. Lindsey was born in Waynesburg, Greene county, Pennsylvania on September 8, 1849, and his age at the time of his death was 78 years, 3 months and 22 days. He came to Iowa when quite a young man, and was in the service of the C. B. & Q. Railway for thirty-three years in the capacity of a passenger brakeman. He was pensioned by the company in 1922, and had since led a retired life. He was a member of the Burlington Relief Association.
Mr. Lindsey was a man of good habits and character, of genial disposition and pleasant and courteous manners, and made warm friends of all with whom he came in contact. He was well liked by his associates in railroad circles, and his sudden death has brought sadness to all who knew him.
His wife died several years ago, and three daughters and one son survive him. The whereabouts of the son are unknown at the present time and he could not be located. The daughters are Mrs. J. F. Lamb, Ottumwa, Iowa; Mrs. W. R. Cartwright, of Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. W. B. O'Brien, of Leadville, Colorado. Mesdames Lamb and Cartwright arrived in Chariton in response to the message announcing their father's death, and were present at the funeral services. Mrs. O'Brien is ill at her home in Colorado and could not be in attendance.
