| JOE GINDELE PASSES AWAY (Monday’s Herald) Joseph Gindele, nativeof Vienna, Austria, noted mining engineer, graduate of Freiberg university and for the past five years of W. P. Tiedemann of the Sonora Bank and Trust company of Nogales, died early yesterday morning in the St. Joseph’s hospital after he was found late Saturday night several hundred yards away from his camp at the Twin Bell mine by Mr. Tiedemann and Jim Hathaway of the sheriff's office. Gindele was the consulting engineer of the Twin Bell mine. When the company shut down about a year ago for refinancing and general readjustments Gindele remained at the mine at Camp Golden Rose, just this side of Washington camp, to continue with engineering work in connection with the reopening of the mine. Mr. Tiedemann was in the habit of taking provisions and water to the isolated engineer once or twice a week. Last Saturday evening when he arrived at the mine Gindele was not to be found. The banker returned to Nogales immediately and Jim Hathaway accompanied him to the mine to take up the search for the missing engineer. He was finally discovered a few hundred yards from the camp suffering from a stroke. That night he was taken back to Nogales but died yesterday morning. He was buried in the Nogales cemetery this morning. For the last few months the deceased has been under the care of physicians who declared that he was troubled with an enlarged heart. Mr. Tiedemann said that his partner was often taken with minor strokes and that he had to be very careful with himself. It was the habit of Gindele to take a sun bath almost every afternoon a little distance from his house and it was while basking in the sun that he was stricken. The deceased leaves a brother and sister in Austria. He came to America in April, 1914, to investigate mining conditions in Canada for the Royal Austrian Geological society. At the opening of the world war he was forced to leave Canada and came to the United States. When this country entered the war he went to Mexico Later he returned here and went into partnership with Mr. Tiedemann. The Border Vidette September 15, 1928 |
