![]() When Mr. William "Bill" Lindsey passed away in 1921, it left his wife, Nora (Wood) Lindsey, alone to take care of seven children. This picture of the family was taken in 1923-1924. Pictured here is Willie Warner, Eliza Ann, Marshal Dock, Mary Elizabeth, Florence May, Jessie William, Ada Pearl and Nora Lee. Mrs. Nora had a hard way to go, trying to take care of all us kids but the good people of Lexington and Henderson County were so good and helpful, said daughter Mary Elizabeth Butts. She remembers Mr. Will, Mrs. Myrtle and Pinkie Parker, who would bring loads of material from their dry goods store so the children could have clothes made. Neighbors helped get the crops planted in the spring without charge. Mary Elizabeth and Willie are the only surviving children. This article and photo from the Lexington Progress date unknown.
