Mrs. Prudence A. Lindsley
Mrs. Prudence A. Lindsley was released from suffering Friday morning, June 28, 
in her 83d year.  Mrs. Lindsley was the widow of Elijah B. Lindsley, who 
fought in the Civil War, Company C, 16th Regiment, and daughter of Milton and 
Rebecca McCannon.  She was born in Londonderry Township, and the last one of a 
large family.  Mrs. Lindsley suffered for years with asthma, but always 
maintaining a courageous and optimistic outlook on life.  Rarely, if ever, has 
it been our privilege to know a woman more thoroughly vers3ed in the trend of 
present-day thought, writes a friend.!   She was a devout member of Hopewell 
M.E. Church and attended regularly until disease made its inroads.  She was a 
lover of the House of the Lord.  She made her home with her daughter, Hattie, 
who stood bravely and loyally by the side of her mother, and where she 
received her friends with the brightest of smiles and the warmest of welcomes.
 
The following children survive and were at her bedside when she passed away:  
Rebecca S., wife of Albert R. Fisher, Modena; Mabel A. Lindsley, Philadelphia; 
Mary E., wife of Clifton M. Walton, Downingtown; Hattie M., wife of Walter 
Fisher, Lyndell; Geo. W. Lindsley, Lyndell; Edith V., wife of D.H. Farra, 
Malvern.  There are also several grand children and great grand children.
