Obituary notes for John HINDLE

Sudden Death
John Hindle, Jr., the Well-Known Undertaker, Found Dead in Bed
For several days past Undertaker John Hindle, Jr., complained of being unwell. About half past ten he retired to his room in Dwyer’s Oyster Bay, taking with him a bottle of soda, saying that he would take it when he got up in the morning.
At eleven o’clock Saturday morning Mrs. Dwyer, being anxious to get through with her work early, went upstairs to fix up the rooms. Mr. Hindle’s apartment being near the head of the stairs, she tried to open the door, but found that it was locked. Knowing that it was an unusual occurrence for John to sleep to that time of day, she rapped on the door but failed to get an answer. At half past eight last evening she informed John Dwyer that Mr. Hindle was still in his room. Mr. Dwyer hastened up-stairs [sic] and after rapping loudly several times burst in the door and discovered that Mr. Hindle was dead. He then sent word to police headquarters and summoned Coroner Hopson and Dr. Myers. After an examination of the body the Coroner stated that he died in a fit. The bottle of soda water was untouched. Word was sent to his father, Mr. John H. Hindle, Sr., who ordered the body to be taken to his house.
There are few young men in Paterson who commanded more respect from all classes than John Hindle, Jr., and when the news of his sudden death was rumored around town hundreds gathered at the oyster bay. He a been in business for himself the past few years.

Found Dead in Bed.
A Sad Discovery Made in a Broadway Eating Establishment – Surmises as to the Cause of Death – a Young Undertaker’s Untimely End.
Late on Saturday night the news was circulated about Paterson that John Hindle, the undertaker, had been found dead in bed. Inquiry showed that the statement was true. The deceased was the oldest son of ex-Freeholder John H. Hindle and for some time he worked for his father. Several years ago he started in business for himself, opening a place on Van Houten street near Washington where he did a fair business, having inherited a great deal of the energy which has characterized the life of his father. He was thirty years of age in June last, and to all appearance he was in the enjoyment of perfect health. He had for some time occupied a room on the floor over Dwyer’s oyster saloon in Broadway, near Main street, this place being convenient to his business. On Friday afternoon he had a funeral, and drove the hearse himself to Cedar Lawn. He returned chilled through, but paid little attention to it. He went about his business as usual and promised to take dinner with Mrs. John Spear, his sister. About ten o’clock he entered the oyster saloon and calling for a bottle of soda water said he was going to bed and wanted the soda water in the morning before breakfast. He then went upstairs, and as no one saw him going out after that time it is presumed that he went to bed. On Saturday morning Mrs. Dwyer was looking after the housework as usual, but found Mr. Hindle’s room locked. She spoke about it to Mr. Dwyer, but as the presumption was that Mr. Hindle was taking a longer nap than usual nothing was done. About four o’clock in the afternoon an attempt was made to awaken him by knocking at the door, but there was no response. Finally between eight and nine o’clock, as nothing had been heard from him, Mr. Dwyer burst the door open and found Mr. Hindle dead in his bed. He had apparently not turned over after going to bed and the only indication of a death struggle was the fact that his hands were clenched. The bottle of soda water stood by the side of his bed. Coroner Hopson was summoned and as it was evident that death had resulted from natural causes he deemed an inquest unnecessary and granted the required certificate of death. The father of the deceased was notified and had the remains removed to his residence, from which they will be buried.
Just what was the cause of death is not known and probably never will be as there is to be no autopsy. His father’s opinion is that he died of a congestive chill contracted from exposure on Friday afternoon. Mr. Hindle thinks that his son went to bed and died shortly afterwards, as his body had every appearance of having been dead for some time when it was found. Others are inclined to think that death was caused by convulsions, and the condition of the hands and cramped position of the arms seem to substantiate this theory. A peculiar feature of the whole affair was the watch of the deceased, which was running when the body was found and which did not stop until yesterday afternoon after four o’clock. As it is a thirty-hour watch it must have been wound up later than Friday night, the time at which death is supposed to have occurred. This fact makes some people believe that he did not die until some time during Saturday, after having wound up his watch again. That he should remain in bed ill without calling for assistance seems incredible, and so the circumstance of the watch continuing to run until yesterday afternoon is unexplained. Young Mr. Hindle was very popular with the men he associated with, and he was already taking a prominent hand in politics, in which he was an indefatigable worker.
