He took up a farm in Lyndon in 1847 and from about that time was a constant reader of the Argus. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Stapish in 1847, who died in 1887. In the sixties they moved to Dexter township and about 1890 Mr. Hindelang moved to Chelsea. Four children survive him, Lewis H., of Dexter, Victor D., of Albion, Mrs. John P. Foster and Miss Frances Hindelang, of Chelsea. The funeral was held from St. Mary's church Thursday. Mr. Hindelang was one of those men whom it was a privilege to know.
