Notes for Elizabeth HINDLE
Elizabeth and her sister Daisy Ackerman Hindle (1857-1914) were so inseparable that a short time after each married, they had mirror-image houses built next to each other on Tyler Street in Paterson, New Jersey.
Elizabeth was born 25 July 1861 in Paterson, the daughter of John Henry Hindle and Mary Elizabeth Hammond. Her mother died a little over a year later of typhoid fever, leaving the two little girls and their brother John Jr. (1856-1887) in the care of their father. John Henry remarried 20 November 1864 in the Second Reformed Church to Hester Louisa Cunningham who was the only mother the children ever knew. Two half-brothers, Charles Beckwith and Frank Lawton, were added to the family in 1866 and 1871 respectively. Elizabeth’s father ran a successful undertaking business in Paterson which may have contributed to the family’s tendency to kidney diseases. When Elizabeth was 10, her father built the family house and undertaking business at 115 Ellison. He was also one of the early investors of Cedar Lawn Cemetery.
On 23 April 1885, Elizabeth married John Bernard Spear at the Second Presbyterian Church in Paterson. He was a bookkeeper for John Norwood & Company. At the time of her marriage Elizabeth received a Bible from her half-brother Charles in which she began entering information about the family. The Bible is still held in the family. Although she spent many years attending the Second Presbyterian Church and helping out with the Sunday school, Elizabeth switched after her marriage to the Church of the Redeemer. She did a considerable amount of charity work through this church and through the Young Women’s Christian Association where she ran the lunchroom.
John Henry Hindle died 31 July 1888 from Bright’s disease, which had also taken Elizabeth’s brother John the year before. He left quite a large inheritance to be shared between his wife and surviving children. It may have been part of this inheritance that helped finance the two new houses.
John and Elizabeth (Hindle) Spear had two daughters, Daisy Hindle (1888) and Hester Louise (1891). Elizabeth must have been an independent woman for those days. She inherited a generous sum from her father upon his death that she wanted to use for the education of her two daughters. In her will, dated 7 September 1895, she left very little to her husband and the major portion of her estate went to her sister, Daisy Ackerman (Hindle) Fordyce, in a trust for her daughters’ education. In 1909 Elizabeth began feeling unwell and had to relinquish her role at the YWCA lunchroom. It was discovered that she had a tumor on her kidney and needed immediate surgery. She was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in New York City where the surgery was undertaken. She died from complications related to the polycystic kidney on 29 May 1909 at the hospital. She was buried in the family plot at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Paterson. Because of the terms of her will, her daughters were able to attend and graduate from Vassar College in 1910.

Obituary notes for Elizabeth HINDLE
Paterson (NJ) Daily Press, Saturday, May 29, 1909.
Mrs. John B. Spear
Elizabeth Hindle, wife of John B. Spear, died this morning in a New York hospital. Mrs. Spear’s serious illness was noted in yesterday’s Press. She had undergone a serious operation on Tuesday. Mrs. Spear was prominent in religious and charitable work and active in the affairs of the Church of the Redeemer and the Young Women’s Christian Association. She had the management of the lunch room of the latter institution and its success has been largely due to her energy and ability. The deceased was a woman of kindly disposition, and a large circle of friends sympathize with the bereaved husband and daughters. She was a daughter of the late John H. Hindle and a sister of Mrs. Robert H. Fordyce. The funeral will take place Tuesday afternoon from the family residence, 71 Twelfth avenue.
Spear - In New York City on Saturday, May 29, 1909, Elizabeth Hindle wife of John B. Spear.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral on Tuesday, June 1, 1909, from her late residence, 71 12th avenue, this city at 2 o’clock p.m. Interment at Cedar Lawn.
Paterson (NJ) Guardian, Saturday, May 29, 1909.
Mrs. John B. Spear Dies in Hospital
Mrs. Elizabeth Hindle Spear, wife of John B. Spear, died this morning in St. Elizabeth’s hospital, New York where she has been a private patient since last Monday. Mrs. Spear underwent an operation for the removal of a tumor, and her condition was critical from the first, although her many friends hoped that the skill of the specialists, who had her case in charge, would result in saving the life of the well-known woman.
Mrs. Spear was the second daughter of the late John H. Hindle, and was born in this city, residing here all her life. She was educated in the public schools and had a large circle of warm friends, which she was able to claim as her girlhood companions. Before her marriage Mrs. Spear attended the Second Presbyterian church and was one of the most active workers in the Sunday school, residing over a class of young women for many years. After her marriage she severed her connection with Dr. Shaw’s church to attend the Church of the Redeemer where she was also a useful member.
The death of Mrs. Spear will come very close to the majority of the prominent women of the city for she was concerned in all the charity work that interested the church people. There is not a woman who will be so sadly missed in the Young Women’s Christian Association circles, for she was one of the most enthusiastic workers for the girls of Paterson and managed the affairs of the lunch room ever since it was started, until her health compelled her to give up the chairmanship of the committee to another. Mrs. Spear took the greatest pride in her work and was frequently commended for her untiring devotion to her duty in the line.
Mrs. Spear has been in poor health for some time, although she and her loved ones did not realize that her ailment was of such a serious nature until she recently consulted a specialist for relief. When he informed her that she had a tumor that needed immediate attention, Mrs. Spear made arrangements to be treated at the New York Hospital.
She was a woman who possessed many Christian virtues and had a most pleasing personality that won for her the love of people in all classes of society. Sincere sympathy will be extended to the husband and two daughters who are so sadly stricken and to her only sister, Mrs. Robert H. Fordyce, who was her inseparable companion on all occasions.
The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon from her late residence 71 Twelfth avenue and the interment will be made in Cedar Lawn Cemetery.
