General Notes: Husband - Dr. Collin M. Lindley


He was born in Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, attended the district schools and a local academy. His studies were somewhat interrupted by his anxiety to become a soldier, to do his part in the suppression of rebellion, and when only seventeen years of age he enlisted in Co. K, 16th Pa. Vol. Cav., which was attached to the Army of the Potomac. He served during the eighteen closing months of the Civil War and was present at the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox. The young soldier returned then to peaceful pursuits and for a time engaged in farming but later entered upon the study of medicine, subsequently entered the Baltimore College of Physicians and Surgeons and was there graduated in the class of 1886. He immediately entered into practice, living for one year at Ten-Mile and moving then to Zollarsville, where he practiced continuously for twelve years and for six additional years was located at New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. During all this time his practice had been general in character but he then went to Philadelphia and took a polyclinic course in the Polyclinic College and Wills Eye Hospital of that city and since then he has made a specialty of diseases of the eye, nose and throat. He is a member of both county and State medical organizations and of the American Medical Association. He and his wife were members of the Second United Presbyterian Church at Washington, Pennsylvania.

In addition to being of pioneer ancestry, Dr. Lindley was of Revolutionary stock on both sides of the family and on the maternal side the Revolutionary hero was a noted surgeon. Dr. Lindley was identified with the G. A. R.
