Merle Floyd Tindle, son of Floyd and Maude Tindle, was born at Grenola, Kansas August 18, 1918 and passed away at the farm home two and one half miles south of Howard, June 22, 1929, age ten years, ten months, and four days.

Merle's sudden and tragic death has been a shock to the whole community as well as a crushing blow to the family.

Of the immediate family, the deceased leaves to mourn his early departure, his father and mother, one sister, Glennyese, and one brother, Royce.

He is also survived by his grandfather and grandmother Tindle of Independence, Kansas and his grandmother Lulu Tucker of Moline, Kansas, besides a number of uncles and aunts and other more distant relatives.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church of Howard, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.  The large congregation and the profusion of beautiful flowers bore testimony to the high esteem that Merle had won for himself in his short life and spoke the heartfelt sympathy of neighbors and friends more effectively than could have done.

Burial was made in Grace Lawn cemetery.  Pastor Bayles was in charge.
