Introduction

Jim "Shorty" Lindsey was the son of M M "Curley" Lindsey and Bertha Ella (Dodds) Lindsey. He was born in what is now a ghost town not far from Duncan, Oklahoma. All that is left of the town are some storm cellars at the crossroads where homes and businesses once stood. The name of the town was String Town and is now referred to as Old String Town as there is another city by that name in Oklahoma today. Jim weighed only 2-1/2 pounds at birth. The fact that he survived is no doubt a result of much prayer. Bertha made her tiny son a little mattress that fit snug in a large shoebox and that was his bed for several months. Jim met Helen Eline Brown at church one Sunday and they were married not long after. Jim was a preacher licensed through the Assemblies of God at that time and they pastored the Assembly of God church in Bunkie, Louisiana in their early years. Jim left the ministry to work as chief mechanic on his father's oil rigs. He raised his family in Baton Rouge where his father's business, M M Lindsey Drilling Company was located on the Airline Highway in north Baton Rouge. Jim and Helen had four children, Bertha Eline, Janie Sue, James Robin and a son born premature between Bertha and Janie. Jim Lindsey was an honest, hardworking man who loved God and his family. He was as good a daddy as a child could have ever hoped for. Following is his obituary: Died at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. He was 59, a native of Duncan, Okla. and resident of Baton Rouge. He was a diesel mechanic with Barber Brothers Const. and a U.S. Army veteran of World War II.
