SAMUEL HINDMAN.
For many years the late Samuel Hindman was prominent in the business circles of Topeka, for some 30 years leading in the grocery interests of the city. Mr. Hindman was born at Dayton, Ohio, April 29, 1834, and died at his home, No. 633 Polk street, Topeka, October 3, 1904.

Mr. Hindman grew to young manhood in his native city and when the Civil War broke out was early in the field to proffer his services. He became lieutenant of Company B, 19th Reg., Indiana Vol. Inf., and served with fidelity and bravery until the close of the war.

In 1866 Mr. Hindman removed to Missouri, but did not settle in a permanent business until he came to Topeka. Here he established himself in a grocery business at Eighth and Kansas avenues, and the business was expanded until a company was formed, the Samuel Hindman Grocery Company, of which Mr. Hindman’s eldest son is manager.

Through the whole of his long business career, Mr. Hindman was known for his business integrity, a reputation which extends to his sons. In the early days he was a promoter of many of the enterprises which have contributed to Topeka’s subsequent development.

Mr. Hindman is survived by his widow, who resides at No. 633 Polk street, and three sons: Edmond L., of Topeka, who is manager of the Samuel Hindman Grocery Company, and resides at No. 523 Madison street; William C., who is in the grocery business and resides at No. 710 West Seventh street; and Claude C., who is also in the grocery business at Topeka, and resides with his mother at No. 633 Polk street. These sons of the late Mr. Hindman are all enterprising, progressive, public-spirited men, prominently identified with all that concerns the business life of Topeka.
