Charles D. B. Kindt, a highly esteemed citizen of Mohnton, Pa., engaged in funeral directing, embalming and undertaking, was born Aug. 5, 1877, in Cumru township, Berks county, son of Daniel M. Kindt.
John Kindt, grandfather of Charles D. B., was born in Maiden-creek township. He was a farmer, owning a tract of seventy-five acres near Vinemont, in Spring township. During the Civil war, he was a private in Company E., 167th P. V. I. John Kindt married Mary Mohn, daughter of Daniel Mohn, and to them were born these children: Daniel M.; Sarah m. (first) Elijah Matz, and (second) Frank Fritz; Henry, living on the old homestead at Vinemont, m. Mary Weitzel; John died in childhood; and Mary is an invalid.
Daniel M. Kindt, father of Charles D. B., was born March 27, 1845, in Spring township, and is a retired hatter and laborer of Mohnton. He was reared on his fathers farm, and attended pay school for a time. He was twice married, (first) Dec. 27, 1867, to Elmira Bickel, daughter of Daniel and Rebecca (Gruber) Bickel, by whom he had two children: Belle m. James White, deceased; and Charles D. B. His second marriage was July 19, 1880, to Mary Westley, daughter of John and Mary (Freese) Westley, and to this union were born three children: Howard m. Cora Schupp; Jacob and Mamie.
Charles D. B. Kindt secured his education in the public schools of Mohnton, and from boyhood has practically taken care of himself. He first carried papers, and then learned the cigar making trade with the firm of R. S. Bittler, and this he followed for four years, at the end of that time turning his attention to cabinet making, and under C. S. Knorr, at Mohnton, he became an expert cabinet maker. While with Mr. Knorr he also learned the undertaking business, and after three years experience decided to enter into business for himself. His beginning was in a humble way, he at first utilizing an old stable, 14 x 15 feet, but later was able to erect several model buildings, well-equipped for the carrying on of his business. On Feb. 1, 1901, he took a course in the Massachusetts School of Embalming, where he was graduated. He is now located at Mohnton, opposite the Mosser & Westley store, where his building is equipped with all the latest improved methods demanded in these modern times. In 1904 he purchased a fine rubber tired hearse, and in January, 1907, he provided himself with a first-class embalming carriage, and he now commands the bulk of the business over a large area.
On April 23, 1903, Mr. Kindt was married to Mary A. Ruth, daughter of Henry K. and Elizabeth (Weaver) Ruth, and they have two children: Sibella Ruth and Charles Daniel, Jr. With his family Mr. Kindt belongs to St. Johns Lutheran Church, of which his accomplished wife is the organist. On Nov. 19, 1899, Mr. Kindt was elected superintendent of the Sunday-school, which under his direction has increased in numbers and efficiency. The family reside in a beautiful home on Church street, which Mr. Kindt purchased in 1902, and subsequently improved. Fraternally Mr. Kindt is a member of Camp No. 211, P. O. S. of A.; the K. G. E.; Lodge No. 186, Jr. O. U. A. M.; and Tent No. 245, Knights of the Maccabees.
