Obituary wrote:ZANESVILLE - Loren W. Prindle, 91, of Zanesville, passed away at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 14, 2007, at Genesis Extended Care and Rehab.Loren was born Dec. 13, 1915, in Roseville, to the late Harry and Bessie Kenney Prindle. Loren was the third generation of the Prindle family to operate Bowling Lanes. For many years Loren owned Prindle Recreation in Roseville. He moved his operation to Zanesville to form Zane Lanes and in 1964 built Sunrise Bowl. Loren is a member of the Zanesville Bowling Association Hall of Fame and had bowled a perfect 300 game. Loren served our country and protected our freedom by serving in the U.S. Navy Pacific Theater during World War II.
Loren is survived by two sons, Jeff (Marty) Prindle of Zanesville and Clifford Prindle of Colorado; a daughter, Sally (Jeff) Dansky of Ann Arbor; five grandchildren, Lisa (Tom) Johnson, Jeffrey (Kim) Prindle, Robert (Marley) Prindle, Morgan (Kelly) Prindle and Adam Dansky; and 12 great-grandchildren including his name sake, Zane Loren Prindle.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Sara Beale Prindle,who passed away on April 7, 1998; and a grandson, Jason Prindle, who passed away on Jan. 9, 2007.
The Snouffer Funeral Home, 1150 W. Military Road, has been entrusted to handle private family arrangements for the Prindle family. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers donations may be made to Genesis Hospice and Palliative Care, 713 Forest Ave.
Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery.
The one issue with this obituary is the name of Sara. One could assume that it is a typo and to substantiate this is the fact that a daughter was named Sally.
Marriage records list her name as "Sally M. Beale" http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_mcdetai ... d=12279715
When writing a biography, the common thought is that a source that can offer information would at the very least have the name of a family member correct. One could easily forgive such a transgression of memory and the name Clifford is a son to both Sally and Loren but then that also begs the question as to the familiarity the source of the information has with the family.
This failure to give the correct name only brings into question the veracity of other information that may have been given to the source of this information.
And the list goes on and in doing this list when so many small inaccuracies occur...how reliable are the larger statements? I know one thing...I know the names of all my Uncles and Aunts who are brothers and sisters to both my parents as well as the names of my cousins.
