Notes for Charles Beckwith HINDLE
Charles B. Hindle is a son of John H. Hindle and at the time of his father's death was his partner in the undertaking business the firm being John H. Hindle & Son. Mr. Hindle is a native of Paterson, educated in the public schools of this city, and finished his studies with professor McManus. He was born in 1866, and is named after Charles Beckwith the ex-Congressman who was a warm friend of his father's. He is a Republican in politics, and has served as president of the Phelps Guards. He is a Morgue Keeper of the County by appointment of the Court, and a director in the Cedar Lawn Cemetery Co. He is a member of the Red Men, K. of P. and a stockholder in the First National Bank. A pay station of the New York & New Jersey Telephone Company is located in his store. He is happily married and the father of two bright boys. He was urged by his friends to become a candidate for the Legislature last fall, but withdrew his name before the canvass for delegates closed. He has added to the facilities since he purchased the handsome structure which we illustrate and has now the finest hearses, carriages and funeral appliances that money can buy. In his hands the excellent reputation of the firm is well maintained.
His last residence was 248 Van Houten St. in Paterson when he died in 1905.

Obituary notes for Charles Beckwith HINDLE
The Morning Call, 1 June 1905, p. 1CHARLES B. HINDLE’S SUFFERING ENDED
Well-Known Undertaker Succumbs After an Illness of Five Weeks- Had Been a Prominent Business Man for Years and Was Active in Political Life
Five weeks of suffering, patiently endured, were ended at 10:10 o’clock last evening in the death of Charles B. Hindle. He had been in an unconscious condition for two or three days, and his death was not unexpected.
There will be widespread sorrow and regret at the announcement of Mr. Hindle’s death. For years past he had been one of the city’s leading undertakers, and had also been prominently identified with politics in the county.
He was twice coroner of the county and also served as a police commissioner. He had taken an active interest in the welfare of the Republican party and was recognized as a leader in its councils.
A week or two ago it was announced that Mr. Hindle was failing and that medical skill was powerless to avert the end. He had been confined to his home, 248 Van Houten street, for upwards of a month, suffering from Bright’s disease and when it became known that the hand of death could not be stayed there was genuine sorrow.
Charles Beckwith Hindle was born in this city on June 8, 1866. His father, John H. Hindle, was a prominent man in his day, in political as well as business life, and it was he who established the undertaking business which was successfully carried on by the son. Charles B. Hindle attended the public schools of this city, and after receiving a thorough drilling in the fundamental rules entered Professor McManus’ college and finished there. Professor McManus afterward studied for the Catholic priesthood and is now the rector of a church at Vailsburg.
After receiving his schooling, Mr. Hindle engaged himself with his father as an undertaker and embalmer, and after a while was taken into partnership, the firm being styled John H. Hindle & Son. On the death of the father the business fell to the son, and for years was continued at the old stand, No. 115 Ellison street. This building was destroyed in the great fire of 1902.
Mr. Hindle had always been a stanch Republican, and had been identified with politics since a boy. He acted as a page in the senate for ex-Governor Griggs and the late Vice-President Hobart.
Mr. Hindle was elected for the last time as coroner in 1895, succeeding Dr. S. F. Wiley and taking charge of the last case prepared by the doctor. During his term of office Sheriff Quackenbush died. The law provides that one of the coroners shall take the position in the event of a death and Mr. Hindle took charge of the sheriff’s office until a permanent successor was named.
Mr. Hindle served on the police commission for a short time. The commission was legislated out of office when the Republican party came into control of state affairs.
For years Mr. Hindle had been the city’s leading undertaker, and had conducted all of the larger and more important funerals. He conducted the funeral of the late Vice-President Garret A. Hobart, Jacob S. Rogers, and other well-known citizens.
The deceased was a managing director of the Cedar Lawn cemetery, a member of the board of trade, the Business Men’s association, Fabiola lodge, Knights of Pythias; Paterson aerie, 43, Fraternal Order of Eagles; Paterson lodge No. 60, B.P.O. Elks, and was a former president of the Phelps guards, when that organization was regarded as the strongest political organization in the state.
Mr. Hindle took an especial interest in the Elks. He was always made a member of the committee in charge of the entertainment of the orphans and took pride in arranging for the successful outings.
In 1887 Mr. Hindle married Miss Katherine M. Mains, and his widow and two sons, John and Fred, are left to mourn his loss.
The funeral arrangements were not completed last evening, but it is likely that the obsequies will take place on Saturday afternoon.

Charles B. Hindle
Charles Beckwith Hindle died last night at 10:10 clock at his home, 248 Van Houten street, after an illness of five weeks with Bright’s disease. The deceased was a son of the late John H. Hindle, and was born in this city June 8, 1866. He was engaged in undertaking for many years, first with his father, and upon the latter’s death succeeded in the business, which he carried on up to the time of his death. He early showed a taste for politics, and when a youth served as a page in the State Senate for Senators Garret A. Hobart and John W. Griggs. He was elected Coroner on the Republican ticket in 1895, and during the vacancy in the Sheriff’s office caused by the death of Joseph H. Quackenbush he acted as Sheriff. Mr. Hindle was director of the Cedar Lawn Cemetery Company; a member of the Fabiola Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Paterson Lodge of Elks, Paterson Aerie of Eagles, and the Phelps Guards, of which he was president at one time. Mr. Hindle was married in 1887 to Miss Katherine M. Mains, and is survived by his wife and sons, John and Fred, and also by his mother, Mrs. Hester Hindle.
Mr. Hindle never missed one of the annual outings the Elks gave the orphans of the county, and he has served on early every committee since the first many years ago. He was generally chairman and a hard worker always. When not on the committee he was on the grounds just the same, and gave the greater part of the day to help make the stay of the youngsters pleasant. This month he will be missed from his accustomed place.
