Read More	Lonnie was the great-great-grandson of our Lindler immigrant to the USA who landed in 1754 in Charles Town (modern Charleson, S. C.). Skip to immigrant, Jacob Lindler, HERE or track the full ancestral line through Lonnie's father (and then each father's father's link) below. Lonnie and Belle married in 1911 in a double wedding when he was 22 years old. He was a sawyer & had a mobile saw mill operation & farm, and he and gangs of men might be out in the woods a week or two at the time. Plans to build Lake Murray were underway, and he owned 260 acres about 0.5 miles from the Saluda River; and the lake would cover his land. So, he began to log his land and cut timber into railroad ties, which he sold in Gilbert beginning in 1922. For his mobile sawmill operation, he bought (1) a 35 hp Lombard boiler, (2) a 30 hp Ajax engine, and (3) a Knight saw mill (including a 52 inch Simon saw) for $500 on 16 April 1924 from W. Scott & Hubert W. Keisler. Once his sawmill business was really going, they could cut 10,000 board feet a day. He had bought life insurance to be sure that the land was paid for if anything happened to him. His daughter, Lallah, was 4 when the tragedy struck. Lallah remembered that, on that day, the main saw blade flew off and nearly decapitated him (he died within two hours) making his 29 year old wife a widow with seven children. Grandsons, Nathan & O'neal Lindler, had, however, heard from their own father that something jammed; and some teeth or pieces of saw blade flew off and cut an area on his throat. Lonnie bled to death before anyone could even start to look for a doctor. Lonnie was a fine Christian man who lead daily devotions in his family and was a lay pastor (off & on about 1965-1970), organist, choir director, and Sunday School teacher. A write-up in The Lutheran Messenger says that the funeral drew one of the largest congregations ever at the church. He was originally buried at old Mt. Pleasant Church cemetery, and he was removed to St. Thomas Church cemetery before the man-made flooding created Lake Murray.
