     At his residence near Lawrenceburg, Ind., May 4, 1878, Robert H. Langdale, sen., formerly of Cincinnati, aged 70 years, 2 months and 10 days.15


     The following obituary appeared in the weekly newspaper the Lawrenceburg Press published in Lawrenceburg, Indiana 16 May 1878:
Robert H. Langdale was born in Yorkshire, England, Feb. 24, 1808 and died in Miller Tp., Dearborn Co., Ind., May 4, 1878.

He with his father's family came to this country in 1828, and settled on the farm where he died.

He removed to Cincinnati in 1829, where he engaged in the wholesale grocery business and remained there until 1840 when he came back to the farm.

His death has cast a gloom over this neighborhood, and left a place none can fill. As a citizen, R. H. Langdale was true and loyal to the county of his adoption and choice, always taking a deep interest in her welfare.

In business circles he was highly esteemed for his honorable and fair dealing.

He possessed a fine social nature, which with a kind and generous heart drew around him a large circle of true, warm and admiring friends. A man of extensive and varied reading, his society was pleasant and instructive.

He was very pronounced in his opinions but liberal in yielding to others the right he claimed for himself; to do his own thinking, and giving expression to his own thoughts.

His sympathetic nature and benevolent disposition was always ready to give cheerful help to the needy; none went empty away.
His religion was not of that kind that was known by a loud profession, but for a better sort that was known by its fruit. He reverenced God and His word; and respected all sincere worshippers of every name.

He was an affectionate and loving husband, a true and faithful brother, a kind and indulgent father and good neighbor.
His last sickness was protracted and painful, yet he bore it all without a murmur, saying to the writer of this: "It is all right."

Thus has passed from our midst one who was peer to any, leaving a brother and two sisters, four daughters and one son and a large circle of friends behind. R.M.H.26

In the death registration of Frances E. Jackson who died on 12 March 1910, Robert Langdale was identified as her father.27 In the death registration of Louisa Cottingham who died on 2 May 1911, Robert Hill Langdale was identified as her father.28 He was referenced in the biographical information that appeared about Thomas Benton Cottingham in 1915 at the book History of Dearborn County, Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA:
THOMAS BENTON COTTINGHAM
Much credit must be given to those farmers who for a number of years have worked steadily away at their chosen field of endeavor, giving their best thought and energy to the difficult problems of agricultural life, and who at the same time have not been blind to the various needs of their community, but have made themselves felt as an influence for good among their fellows. Dearborn county has reason to be proud of the many true men she has produced, among whom is Thomas Benton Cottingham, a well-known farmer of Miller township.

T. B. Cottingham was born at Logan Cross Roads, Dearborn county, Indiana, on April 3. 1846. He is the son of Thomas and Sarah Mills (Stohmes) Cottingham, natives of Yorkshire, England, and Ohio, respectively.

Thomas Cottingham. Sr., was born in Yorkshire. England, in 1810. and at an early age emigrated with his parents to America. They settled near

DEARBORN COUNTY, INDIANA. 709
Baltimore, Maryland. A short time after the death of the father, Thomas Cottingham Sr., came with his mother to Cincinnati. Here he received the rudiments of a common-school education and learned the blacksmith's trade by apprenticeship. Later removing to Dearborn county and settling on a farm at Logan Cross Roads, he built a shop and followed his trade as a blacksmith. The farm where he located was obtained from Alford Stohmes, his brother-in-law, for whom he assumed certain financial obligations. Thomas Cottingham was married to Sarah Mills Stohmes, a native of Delhi, Ohio, born in 1815. To this union were [born] nine children, as follow: Eliza, Charlotte, deceased: Alonzo. Sarah Amelia, Jacob, deceased; Thomas B., the subject of this sketch: Matilda, deceased; Louisa, deceased; and one child who died in infancy. The mother of these children, Sarah Mills (Stohmes) Cottingham, died on the farm, in Harrison township, in 1850, at the early age of thirty-five years. The father, Thomas Cottingham, Sr., after operating his ninety-acre farm in Harrison township and following his blacksmith's trade for a number of years, spent the last fifteen years of his life with a daughter, Mrs. Liddle, of Bright, Indiana. He died at the ripe old age of nearly eighty-seven years. He was an active Democrat, having served as trustee of Harrison township one term.

T. B. Cottingham, the subject of this sketch, grew up in Harrison township. Dearborn county, Indiana, and received a common-school education in the district township schools. He remained on the home farm until eighteen years of age, when he worked out at different places for himself. Reared a farmer, he chose his vocation as such, and, with the exception of three or four years in which he was engaged in the general mercantile business at Bright, Indiana, in partnership with W. S. Fagaley, he has followed farming all his life. After his marriage, in 1874, he continued in the mercantile business for about a year, and then sold his interest and bought a farm of seventy-five acres in Miller township. After living here for about six years he sold the farm and bought his present farm of one hundred and sixty acres, to which he moved in 1881, and where he has continued to reside. Mr. Cottingham has a beautiful farm, kept in excellent shape, and, located on high ground, his place commands a magnificent view of the surrounding country.

On June 24, 1874, T. E. Cottingham was married to Louisa Langdale, a native of Miller township. Dearborn county, Indiana, who was born on January 29. 1844. She was the daughter of Robert Hill and Martha Colvin Langdale. To this happy union were born three children, Stanley L., de-

ceased ; Howard and Edna A. Howard married Elizabeth Renck and operates the home farm. They have three children, Agnes, Clayton and Albert S. Edna married J. D. Moore, and lives at Charleston, West Virginia, and they have three children. Rossebell, Louisa and Thomas Benton. Mrs. Louisa (Langdale) Cottingham died, May 1 (sic), 1911, a loving wife and devoted mother and loved by all who knew her.

Mr. Cottingham, as was his beloved wife, is an ardent member of the Christian church. He has been an elder in the church at Bright, Indiana, since its organization, and has always taken an active interest in its work. Mr. Cottingham is not affiliated with any lodges, and, although an active Democrat, he has not held public office. T. B. Cottingham, who is now practically retired, is a fair type of the prosperous and progressive farmer. He is a companionable man of cheery disposition, genteel and sociable. A man who stands for what he thinks is right and just, he is favorably known and looked upon as an honorable citizen.29
