LINDLEY, NETTIE
(18 Jan 1917, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. J. O. Lindley Dead.
Miss Nellie Martin received a letter from Miss Lois Lindsey, of Carthage,
Mo., stating a telegram had been received by them that Mrs. J. O. Lindley,
of Florida, had died.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey (sic) were old settlers in Elk City, having charge of
the Sugar Bowl at this place before the present owners took charge.  She
was a most estimable lady and her many acquaintances here will regret to
hear of her death.

Former Well Known Resident of This City Answers Final Call.
Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Robinson have received announcement of the death of
Mrs. Nettie Lindley, which occurred at Leesburg, Fla., on Wednesday of

Mr. and Mrs. Lindley were among the first resident of Elk City, being

conducted the Sugar Bowl, disposing of their interests here about five
years ago.
The family had many friends in this section who will learn with regret of

friends here by those who knew her.
