Like his father, he was a carpenter by trade and with his brother, the late Albert Brindle, was actively engaged at his trade. In time both became contractors and builders and in this work the deceased was active until he met with the accident that costt his life.

As A Fireman

Mr. Brindle was for about a half century a member of the Union Fire Company, was a former President of the Company, and for many years its engineer. He was also a former Chief of the Carlisle Fire Department. When the Union Company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1889, he was most active in the arrangements. The State Firemen's Convention met here that week, and it was a large task for Carlisle to entertain the thousands of firemen and visitors, considering the size of the town at that time. At the time of his death he was a Union trustee and member of the Firemen s Relief Association.

Mr. Brindle was active in several lodges. He was a Past Master of St. John's Lodge of Masons and an active Elk.

During the Spanish-American he held an active part in Georgia and it was during this period he became a First Lieutenant. He was well and popularly known to N.G.P. men all over the state who held him in the highest esteem. After his service in the Spanish-American war, he retired from all military duty.

In Civic Life

Mr. Brindle was one of the most public-spirited citizens of Carlisle. He was among those who fostered and brought to successful fruition plans for our first Old Home week, and the Sesqui-Centennial celebration. As Burgess of Carlisle he gave on of the best administrations the town ever had. He was chairman of the Tree Commission of City Council and was always interested in every good thing for the town.

He was a member of the Sons of Veterans, the Camp being named after his father, the late Captain John P. Brindle, a prominent Civil War veteran. He was a director of the Farmers Trust Company, and a member of the First Reformed church (sic) for many years. He supervised the construction of the congregation's beautiful new edifice on North Pitt street (sic).

As a builder he erected the magnificent Denny Hall of Dickinson College, and many other large building and private residence. His last building operation was the addition to the Goodyear shoe factory.
