Max Sylvester Findley, age 87, Bethany, Missouri, formerly
of Lone Star, Missouri; died Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at his home.
Max was born May 4, 1928 near Lone Star, Missouri; son of
the late Rev. John A. and Tuleta (Williams) Findley.
Max was a graduate of New Hampton High School, New Hampton,
Missouri, class of 1948.
Max served his country in the United States Army, and was
stationed in Mineral Wells, Texas.
After the military, Max spent most of his life on the family
farm near Lone Star, where he loved and enjoyed raising cattle.
Max was a lifelong member of the Lone Star Baptist
Church. When he became too frail to
attend, he listened to services on the radio.
He possessed a childlike trust in Jesus.
Max was single all his life but maintained close ties with
nieces and nephews, especially Orville Barber who cared for him in his home the
last years of his life.
Preceding Max in death were his parents; three brothers,
Claris, Rex and John A. Findley; four sisters, Eunice Deatherage, Kathleen

ones.

he lived with Orville D. Barber, Bethany.
