Mr. Brewer Sinex, an old citizen who died yesterday was
buried today by the Temperance organization of which
he was for many years a member.  He was a brother of 
the late Thomas Sinex and of coroner John Sinex.

John Sinex - familiarily known as "Uncle John" - died 
this morning of old age.  Some months ago he was 
partially paralyzed, but his great vitality held out 
under the stroke until life's candle fairly burned to 
the socket and went out from exhaustion.

John Sinex was born in Newcastle County, Delaware, 
December 27, 1794, and was therefore eighty-seven 
years two months and four days old at his death.  He 
was a man of the most vigorous constitution though 
he had for many years endured much suffering from 
rupture, but without being to any great degree weakened 
in strength.

He was the father of Capt. Edward Sinex, for the past 
thirty-three years a compositor in the Ledger office and 
an active member of the fire department, and of Mrs. 
Alfred H. Nunemacher, and of Mr. James Sinex, of the 
Glass Works, and a brother of the late Thomas Sinex.

He was known to nearly every citizen of Floyd County, 
having served as Coroner of the county for eighteen years.  
He took in his residence in New Albany in 1838, and 
resided in the city forty-four years.

His funeral will take place at 10 o'clock on Monday 
afternoon.
