Mendenhall was born at Moorsville, Morgan county, Indiana, February 14, 1829, and died at Geneva Neb., December 15, 1917, aged 88 years 10 months and 1 day. When a young boy he moved to Richland, Keokuk county, Iowa, where he lived until nineteen years of age, when he returned to Hendricks county, Indian, where he engaged in farming. In the early pioneer days of Indiana, he was a stage driver from Nightstown to Indianapolis. When this means of travel was abandoned, he became conductor of a freight train on the Walbash railroad, making the run from Lafayette, Ind. to Danville, Ill. He married Lucinda S. Cook of Hancock county, Indiana. Five children were born to this union, only two of whom are living: Mrs. M.F. Fussell of Geneva, and Mrs. D.A. Crain of Sedalia, Mo. In 1873 he again took up farming near Pendleton, Ind., but in 1880 the family moved to Hopkins, Mo., where they resided for twenty-seven years. Here he became a painter at which occupation he labored as long as health would permit, his last work being done at the age of eighty-five. In 1907 he and his wife came to Geneva to make their home with their daughter. During his early married life Mr. Mendenhall became a Christian and united with the Untied Brethren church, near Tipton, Ind. At Hopkins, Mo., he united with the Methodist church and continued a consistent member until 1908, when his membership was transferred to the Methodist church of Geneva. He was a kind and loving father and grandfather, and will be greatly missed in the home. He leaves two daughters, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The funeral took place from the Methodist Episcopal church in Geneva at 3 p.m. Tuesday and was conducted by Rev. R.H. Thompson. The interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
