LINDSEY, MYRTLE
(6 Jul 1916, Thursday, Elk City Leader, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
G. L. Fair of this city received a telegram Wednesday from Princeton, Mo.,
announcing the serious illness of his daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Lindsey, at
her home at that place.  He left on the afternoon train Wednesday to be at
his daughter's bedside.  Mrs. Lindsey formerly lived here, and attended
high school, and the news of her critical illness will be received with
regret by her friends.
(20 Jul 1916, Thursday, Elk City Leader, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
G. L. Fair has returned from Princeton, Mo., where he was called on the
5th instant, on account of the critical illness of his daughter, Mrs.
Myrtle Lindsey at her home there.  Mrs. Lindsey died before the arrival of
her father, but he and other members of the family arrived in time for the
funeral services, which were conducted on the seventh.
Mrs. Lindsey was 22 years old at the time of her death and is survived by
her husband,  mother, a sister, Mrs. Pendleton of Coffeyville, Kansas, and
a brother, Roba Fair, of Coffeyville and her father of this city.
Mrs. Lindsey was an active worker in the church of Princeton, being
converted more than two years ago and the Post published in Princeton says
of her:  "She was an intelligent young lady of a kind and happy
disposition and made friends wherever she was known.  She was very active
in the church and took a leading part in the social gatherings.  She will
be greatly missed there and a host of friends will mourn her death."
Mrs. Lindsey was married in October 1914.  She and her husband Howard
Lindsey were school mates and graduates from the same school.
