DEATH OF MR. J. S. LINDSAY I
Again is the Transcript called upo-i I
to chronicle the death of one of its
best friends, one of the most highly
esteemed and best beloved men of Nor-
man. Mr. J. S. Lindsay passed away |
at 6:16 this morning (Wednesday
March 29, 1916), at his home, 716
North Crawford avenue.
I Mr. Lindsay was in his 78th year,
but up to the very day of his last sick- j
ness was seventy-eight years young
rather than old; youthful and taking
an interest in boyish sports to the very
j end of his life. No more honorable,
| upright and conscientious citizen ever
: lived. He was one who exemplified in
I his daily walk and conversation all
those desirable qualities and attri-
butes which go to the making of a de-
voted husband and father, a faithful
friend, an upright man and good citi-
zen, and instilled those attributes not
only into his sons, but into all with
whom he came in contact. He enters
upon his reward after a long and use-
ful life, after years full of good deeds
and good thoughts, with tne esteem
and love and respect of all who knew
him; certainly an inheritance of great
worth to bereaved wife and children,
grand children and friends.
Mr. Lindsay might be said to be u
native of three states, for wHile born
in Pennsylvania, he lived most of his
life in Missouri, and for the past twen-
ty years has been a resident of Okla-
homa. He is survived by Mrs. Lind-
say, who has gone down the pathway
of life with him all these years, and
three sons and a daughter—Harr>,
Rea and John G. Lindsay, of Norman,
and Mrs. A. J. Hitt of Maysville, Mo.
To them go out the earnest and un-
stinted sympathies of the community,
but they do not mourn as one who can-
not be comforted, for Mr. Lindsay laid
down the burden at the end of a long
and useful life, when it could be truly
said, "Enter upon thy rest, thou good
and true and faithful servant."
Mr. Lindsay has been enjoying good
health until about a month ago, when
he had a serious attack of the grip,
and never fully recovered from it.
The immediate cause of his death was
heart trouble, brought about by a
complication of asthma and liver
trouble. His end was peaceful; fit
ending of a peaceful, calm and quiet
life.
The funerai services will be held at
the M. E. Church, South, at 3 o'clock
p. m. on Thursday, March 30, 191C,
conducted by Rev. M. L. Butler, with
burial ceremonies by Norman Lod>;e
No. 7, I. 0. O. F. at the I. 0. 0. F
cemetery.

Th Bowling Grocery has been sold
to Messrs. N. W. and Herley Bowling
of this city and Mr. H. W. Scholton of

nil experienced business men ind wiil
undoubtedly make it more than ever a
success.
This business was established by
Mr. J. Lloyd Bowling Borne eighteen
months ago, and was a success from
the start, enjoying a fine patronage,
but since the death of Mr. Bowling the
entire management has fallen on the
shoulders of Miss Ina Harvey, who
was a member of the firm, and it has
been too strenuous for her. The new
firm take over a fine business, and in-
herit an excellent patronage.

Mayor
Ha'die and other members of the city
government returned to Oklahoma
City this morning to again attend the

close of the trial. Mr. Lindsay is san-
guine that the city will win, but says
it is by no means a cinch; the City,
however, having considerably more
than an even chance.
