Author: Luther A. Ingersoll (1908)

    J. LINDT, for many years a resident of Santa Monica, was born in the
southern part of Germany, on the Rhine; February 8th, 1840. His father, Peter
Lindt, was an art wood worker and glazier. He worked out designs and made
cathedral windows, doors, etc. Young Lindt served an apprenticeship, passed
three examinations in different departments of the work, adding the art of
painting and decorating. He travelled for about two years in the Valley of the
Rhine in pursuit of his trade. In 1859 he came to America, landing in New York
and there followed his trade for about thirty years. In 1890 he came to
California and in 1902 he located in Santa Monica. He has executed some of the
best work in his line on the coast and has done the interior decorating of many
of the best residences in this section of the state.

    Mr. Lindt married Miss Mary Granger, of Baden, Germany, in 1884, and they
have four children—Frances, Annie, Emma and Christina. They are members of the
Catholic church. Mi. Lindt is a thrifty and energetic man of means and owns a
comfortable home near Twentieth Stieet and Oregon Avenue, Santa Monica.
