Date of birth is recorded in her father's bible--see Henry Carlton Lindsey, THE MARK LINDSEY HERITAGE (Brownwood, TX, 1982), p. 66. Tombstone reads "Veda P. Lindsey Jones, 1879-1965." Date of death for VPL and husband are from TX death records for Gregg Co.

I must have seen Aunt Veta at family reunions when I was a child, but have no memory of her. Her pictures show her to be a thin, rather worried-looking woman. According to Uncle Carlton's stories, she suffered from various illnesses, real or imagined, for many years of her life.

Unless otherwise noted, all information on this family is from MARK LINDSEY HERITAGE, p. 85.

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 at family reunions, the family always enjoyed Aunt Veta's tall tales of the oil fields and of Uncle Fon's preaching.
