Charles W. Lindner, helped found Springdale
Charles W. Lindner, 75, one of the founders of the city of Springdale, died at his home Tuesday.
Mr. Lindner was instrumental in incorporating the northern portion of Springfield Township into the village of Springdale in 1959. He served on the first village council and then as mayor from 1962 to 1963.
His efforts as civic leader and later as a building official helped bring controlled growth and established planning and zoning. That brought residential subdivisions and secured early industrial tenants such as Tri-County Shopping Center, Avon and Kroger processing facilities.
The lifelong resident of the Millcreek Valley graduated from Hartwell High School in 1942, and later attended the University of Cincinnati, where he played football. He transferred to Purdue University, earning a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's degree.
Mr. Lindner was an officer in the U.S. Navy Corps of Civil Engineers, serving at Wake Island in World War II and at Yorktown, Va., during the 
Korean War. In civilian life, he worked as a civil engineer for Southern Railway, Allstate Design and Development and Harry Hake Architects. Mr. Lindner was project engineer on the Christ Hospital additions in 1958 and 1977 and the Federal Reserve Bank Cincinnati Branch in 1972. He also helped determine the route of Cross County Highway.
He leaves his wife, Thelma, and sons, Charles Lindner Jr. of Terre Haute, Ind., Mike Lindner of Fort Collins, Colo., and Scott Lindner of Hudson, Ohio.

Brother Paul Wilhelm aided poor
Dedicated to serving the poor, Brother Paul Wilhelm, a member of the Cincinnati-based Glenmary Home Missioners, spent much of his life helping provide houses for families in rural areas.
Brother Wilhelm, 67, who died Thursday, helped build houses for low-income families in Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama. During one four-year span, he helped build 14 houses.
'Brother Paul was a man filled with faith in God and service to the rural and neglected poor of this country,' said the Rev. Jerry Dorn, president of Glenmary Home Missioners, a Catholic society of priests.
Brother Wilhelm, born in Mascoutah, Ill., was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in 1972. After surgery, he recovered and continued his ministry for 13 more years. In 1985, his health forced him to cut back and serve inhouse at Glenmary headquarters.
'I see death as another step in the journey of life,' Brother Wilhelm said in 1991. 'I enjoyed my life and accept death as a blessing. I am open to God's blessings in death as I received God's blessings in life.'
Brother Wilhelm is survived by a sister, Marie, and brothers, Vincent, Lawrence and Arthur - all from the Mascoutah-Belleville, Ill., area; brother, Eugene, from Trenton, N.J.; and brother Paul, currently a pastor in San Fernando, Calif.
Visitation will be 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Our Lady of the Fields Chapel at the Glenmary Residence in Fairfield, Ohio. At 8 p.m., there will be a prayer service in the chapel. Memorials to Glenmary Home Missioners, P.O. Box 465618, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45246-5618.
