TINDER, Carl - Putnam

Phillipine Soldier Dies in Greencastle Hospital

Carl Tinder, 49 years of age, died in the Putnam county hospital, last Wednesday afternoon, after he had been picked up by police in Commercial Place, Greencastle, Wednesday morning, suffering from the effects of narcotics.

Funeral services were held Friday afternoon from the Mill Creek church, in charge of the Rev. S. A. Haworth, with burial in the Mill Creek cemetery.

Tinder, the son of the late William and Mary Tinder, was a soldier in the Phillipines where he contracted the fever and from the use of drugs to combat this epidemic he became an addict. This led Tinder downward and two years ago he was convicted for selling narcotics and was recently released from the Leavenworth federal prison. Tinder was in Danville the first of last week and appeared to be in a serious condition at that time.

He is survived by one brother, Oscar Tinder, a farmer living southwest of Danville.
