KINDLE, JOHN W., farmer, P. O. Rinard, is one of Wayne County's largest and most substantial farmers, having farm property to
the amount of 760 acres, which is devoted principally to the raising of stock.
He was born in Brown County, Ohio, June 1, 1828, the eldest son of Joseph and Nancy (Morrow) Kindle, the father a native of Virginia, and the mother of Ohio. The parents came to Wayne County about 1863, from Johnson County. Ind., whence they had removed from Ohio in 1841. They finally returned to Johnson County, where they both died. Their union was blessed with five children, of whom there are four living--
Our subject obtained but a meager education in the old-fashioned schools, and he remained on the farm until twenty-one years of age. He then followed carpentering for several years, but has since given his attention entirely to agricultural pursuits.
He was united in marriage to Ruth M. Gosney, a daughter of John J. Gosney, a resident of Piatt County, this State. Mr. and Mrs. Kindle have raised two children—Catharine and Charles H. Freer, who came from English parents, the former having been born in England. Their mother was accidentally burned to death. Charles H. has been adopted by Mr. Kindle, and has had his surname accordingly changed. Mr. Kindle is a Democrat in politics.
