Samuel Fitch Lindsey, son of the
late Mrs. Adeline Lindsey and brother of Henry R. Lindsey, Mrs. Duke
Simpson
and Mrs. W.W. Talcott, of this city, died at the National Soldiers Home
in
Milwaukee, Wis., on Saturday, Dec. 11, 1897, in the 49th
year of his
age.
He was born July 15, 1848 in Ripley, Brown county, Ohio,
and enlisted at the age of 15 in the Second Ohio heavy artillery in
which
organization he served two years. He was
taken prisoner of war at Sweetwater, Tenn.,
and for nearly a year suffered all the privations, hardships and
horrors of Andersonville
and other prison pens until released on parole near the close of the
war.
Mr. Lindsey
was a member of George A. Custer post, of Chicago,
and for thirty years had held a responsible position in the employ of
the
Boston Oyster House which the condition of his health recently
compelled him to
resign. His death was due to dropsy
which, contrary to the expectations of his friends and physician,
terminated
fatally, soon after his removal to Milwaukee
for treatment.
Besides his
relatives in this city, Mr. Lindsey leaves four brothers, O.L. and
J.B., of Chicago
and A.W. and Lemuel of Cincinati, Ohio. The remains arrived here this afternoon and
the funeral will take place from the home of Mrs. W.W. Talcott, 218
Baker avenue, tomorrow.
The funeral
services will be held tomorrow morning at 10:30
from the residence 218 Baker avenue,
Rev. McKay officiating. Burial at
Oakwood.
