Is the funeral home of Shrader Brothers still in business and/or operating today? I have a certificate of death for a Joseph SINEX who died January 26, 1905 at the age of 68 (accident - killed by a train) and was buried January 27, 1905 but it states the name of the cemetery was not recorded. I am trying to connect this Joseph SINEX to either the John & Mary (Stetzer) SINEX family of New Albany, or to the Samuel & Elizabeth Ann (Kinch) SINEX family of Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana. It states he is married but does not give the name of the spouse. Any help anyone can give me will be gratefully appreciated. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don‘t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. Typed by Lora Radiches: 3-24-2005 Surnames in this biography are: Montgomery, Duffy, Clark, Clarke, Maloney, McKay, Sexton, Packard, WALTER SCOTT MONTGOMERY. Among the old and honored journalists of Indiana few are held in higher esteem or confidence or have established a better record than Walter Scott Montgomery, owner and editor of the New Albany Tribune, an enterprising and thriving newspaper of Floyd County. His career has been a long, honorable and useful one, during which he has done much to contribute to the growth and welfare of his community, both personally and through the columns of his newspaper. Mr. Montgomery was born at Kent, Jefferson County, Indiana, November 1, 1858, and is a son of William H. and Melissa (Duffy) Montgomery. His paternal grandfather, David A. Montgomery, came with his parents and their family from Pennsylvania, becoming the first of that name to settle in the Hoosier State, where David A. Montgomery took up land and became one of the substantial and enterprising men of his state, being engaged in agricultural pursuits for many years. He married Elizabeth Clark, a desce! ndant of the Clarks, Bonds and Valentines, all well-known families of the Old Dominion State. She was a graduate of Noblesville (Indiana) High School. William H. Montgomery was born on his father's farm in Indiana, and received a rural school education. Early in life he developed a mechanical turn of mind and left the home place to embark in the manufacture of agricultural implements and tools at Kent, a business which he followed until reaching the age of thirty-five years, when he disposed of his factory and became a general merchant. He was thus engaged until reaching his seventy-ninth year, when he traded his business for three farms, and from, that time forward to the end of his life was engaged in managing the operations thereon. Mr. Montgomery was one of the constructive and able citizens of his day and community and served in the capacity of postmaster of Kent for a period of more than forty years. The early education of Walter Scott Montgomery was acquired in the! public schools, following which he entered Hanover (Indiana) College, where he completed a full course. Graduating in the spring of 1880, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1883 he received the degree of Master of Arts. He at once assumed the vocation of educator, which he followed as an instructor at the Noblesville High School for two years. He then began the study of law in the office of Kane & Davis, of Noblesville, and was admitted to the bar in 1882, after which he practiced that profession for a period of three years at Noblesville. In 1885 Mr. Montgomery entered the newspaper business, buying a half interest in the Noblesville Ledger. After one year there he began the publication of the Central Christian paper, but in 1888 sold out and went to Greenfield, where he bought the Greenfield Republican, and was editor and owner thereof for twenty-four years. Disposing of his interests, he entered the insurance business for two years, as Oklahoma and Oregon state representative for several of the old-line companies. However, he could no! t withstand the call of newspaper life, and his next connection found him as owner of the Shelbyville (Kentucky) Republican, of which he was editor for three years. Eventually he located at New Albany, Indiana, where he purchased the Tribune, with which he has been actively identified until the present. Mr. Montgomery married Miss Mary Clarke, and to this union there have been born four children: James E., who after attending Butler College, Indiana, graduated from Le-land Stanford University, as a member of the class of 1908, now president of the Bank of Southwestern Oregon, at Marshfield, Oregon, married Miss Marie Maloney, a graduate of Iowa University, and has two children, Mary June and Nancy Ann; Mary, a graduate of Butler College, married Robert J. McKay, an executive of the International Nickel Company, and has two children, Robert James and Daniel Clarke; Ruth, a graduate of Butler College, who married Horatio C. Sexton, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute o! f Technology and of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and new a lieutenant in the construction department of the United States Navy, and has three children, Horatio C., Jr., John Montgomery and Mary Susan; and Miss Martha, a graduate of Butler College, Leland Stanford University and the University of California, and now an educator at Taft, California. During the World war Mr. Montgomery turned over the columns of his paper for all war drives and was one of the most active men in the city in supporting movements for the accumulation of funds. He is a member of Jefferson Lodge, A. F. and A. M., of New Albany, the Inland Daily Press Association and for forty-one years of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association. He is a stanch and unwavering Republican, and while residing at Greenfield served in the capacity of postmaster for five years. The New Albany Tribune was founded in April, 1888, by Gen. Jasper Packard, a native of Indiana, as a four-page daily and weekly. It is still conducted as a weekly and daily, but runs from six to sixteen pages, and has a circulation of 4,500, fifty-five people being on its editorial and mechanical staff. The plant is fully equipped with motor-driven machinery of the most modern kind, there being 11,000 square feet of floor space. James E. Montgomery, son of Walter S. Montgomery, was a reporter for the Indianapolis Star, while attending Butler College, and a cub reporter on the San Francisco Chronicle. He attended the Officers Training School at the Presidio, San Francisco, during the World war, and was assigned to the construction department of the lumber industry as executive officer, with the rank of captain, and acted in that capacity until 1920, when he engaged in financial affairs.
