LINDSEY, LUVINIA C.
(1 May 1925, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF MRS. SHANNON LINDSAY (sic)
Rowe Martin received a telegram Tuesday noon of the death of his sister,
Mrs. Shannon Lindsay that morning at the home of her sister, Mrs. Chas. E.
McKenna, of Webb City, Mo.  Mrs. Lindsay's home is near Joplin, Mo., but
at Christmas time she went to visit her sister at Webb City and became
ill, since which time she has been in a serious condition, her death being
expected most any time the past month.  Mrs. Sebe Thomas, another sister,
who lives in Elk City, has been with her for several months.  Rowe Martin
visited her a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Lindsay was born in Ashland, Mo., and was about 54 years of age at
the time of her death.  Of a family of seven, three brothers and four
sisters, she was the first to pass away.
At one time Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay lived in Elk City, and they have many
friends here.
She leaves her husband and one daughter, Lois, her brothers A. B. and Rowe
Martin, of Elk City, B. H. Martin, Washington, D. C., Mrs. C. E. McKenna,
Webb City, Mo., Mrs. Sebe Thomas and Mrs. C. W. Burnett of Elk City.
We hope to have a fitting obituary of this noble woman for our next issue.
