His obituary from the Georgetown Newspaper- Philip Lind Dies Here Wednesday Philip Lind, 76, a resident of Georgetown for fifty-five years, died at his residence, 1002 Forest Street, Wednesday morning, January 2, at 11:30 o'clock, after an illness of several months.
Funeral services were held at the Friedrich Funeral Home Thursday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Bertil Thorne, pastor of the Evangelical Free Church.

Mr. Lind, in partnership with his brother, the late Carl Lind, entered the wheelwright and blacksmith business in Georgetown forty-four years ago, and became well-known throughout this area where they made many life long friends.
This partnership was dissolved in 1928, and Philip continued to operate the business at the same location until his death.
Mr. Lind was a man of many talents. He constructed the large building housing his business, practically single-handed. Most of his power tools and machinery were designed and built by him, a fact in which he took great pride.
One of his early inventions, was shock absorbers for Model T Fords, which he manufactured and marketed. In the homes of relatives and friends, are many pieces of furniture he made during his spare time.

He was a deacon in the church at the time of his death. His kind and cheerful disposition won for him many friends, young as well as old.
