Portland Observer, Wednesday, December 7, 1892

An Old Resident Dead

Stephen J. Lindley, whom The Observer mentioned last week as being very near to 
death’s door, died on Monday forenoon of this week at 10 o’clock, at his home 
just east of town, in the 79th year of his age.  Mr. Lindley had been sick for 
some time and with a complication of diseases, and only his excellent 
constitution kept him up so long.  He had been a resident of Portland for many 
years, and leaves a family of grown up sons and daughters.

The funeral services will be conducted from his late residence this (Wednesday) 
forenoon at 10 o’clock, the Rev. H.H. Halsey, of the U.B. church, officiating.
