Date of birth and death are in his father's family bible--see Henry Carlton Lindsey, THE MARK LINDSEY HERITAGE (Brownwood, TX; 1982), p. 66. The same dates are on his tombstone.

Unless otherwise noted, all information about this family is from MARK LINDSEY HERITAGE, p. 80. According to Henry Carlton Lindsey, JWL died while from an accident while working on an oil rig between Coushatta and Shreveport, LA. HERITAGE has a picture of him, his wife, and son Archie, taken around 1921. This shows him to have been a nice-looking man with light hair and light eyes, thin and perhaps tall.

Mary Lou Lindsey Prothro, "The Lindseys of Red River Psh.," in Red River Psh. Heritage Soc., RED RIVER PARISH, OUR HERITAGE (Bossier City: Everett, 1989), p. 308, says that the sons of JWL lived in CA after their father's death.
