Sarah P. Lindly.
A Tribute to the Memory of Grandmother to Grand Master C. J. Lindly.
The death and burial of Sarah P. Lindly, an Illinois pioneer, and grandmother to Grand Master Cicero J. Lindly, may not be devoid of interest to the readers of your valuable paper, and brothers and sisters of our worthy and efficient Grand Master.
Sarah P. Lindly was born near Hopkinsville, Ky., February 24, 1799 and died at her late residence in Upper Alton, Ill., Wednesday, July 6, 1898, aged 99 years, 4 months and 12 days.
Mrs. Lindly came of an historical family. She was related to Cabel Ball, the once famous financier of New York, and her mother was a member of the noted Stark family revolutionary fame. She was one of the few remaining widows of veterans of the war of 1812. The family came to Illinois early in the year 1816, two years before the state was admitted into the Union, so that Grandma Lindly, she was familiarly called, had resided in this state over 82 years; the greater portion of those years living near this city.
Some five years ago she went to live at Upper Alton, where after nearly one year of suffering she passed to the reward of the Christian. The family from which Grandma Lindly descended famed for its remarkable instances of longevity, she being a representative of the first five living generations in a direct line with 126 living descendants. The Lebanon Leader in its issue of July 15 gave an interesting notice of the funeral and interment at College Hill cemetery, at Lebanon, Saturday, July 9. The Leader notice follows:
