ISAAC LlNDLEY The history of Kansas, as well as that of the nation, may not be written without prominent mention of the sect known as Quakers, or Friends. From the days of their public whipping in the streets of Boston, for the sake of their religion, to these piping times of peace, is a long stretch in time, but not greater than the change which. has taken place in the hearts of Christendom concerning this pureminded, holyliving people. While opposed to war, the Quaker was in honorable evidence in the strenuous days of the fifties, in Kansas, and when freedom's debt was paid and the floodgates of the eastern tide of emigration were thrown open, he was found in goodly numbers, in the advancing throng. Montgomery county, early, became the center of a Quaker community, whose splendid influence on the county's moral development cannot be estimated, and is still felt in everwidening circles. The pastor of this denomination in Independence is the gentleman whom the biographer will sketch below, and whose name. precedes this review. Rev. Lindley was born in Parke county, Indiana, August 5, 1833, of southern Quaker stock; his father, David Lindley, being a native of North Carolina, and his mother, Nancy. Stalcup, of Tennessee. The father was but sixteen years of age when his parents, actuated by a growing repugnance to the institution of slavery, removed to Orange county, Indiana. They, later, removed to Green county, where David and Nancy were married and resided until 1832, thence to Parke county, which remained their home to the time of their death. The wife died in 1852, at the age of fortysix, the husband in 1881, at seventysix years. David Lindley was a strong Abolitionist, and was active in furthering the effectiveness of the "underground railroad," a branch of which passed but a few miles from his home. Their family consisted of. eight children, three of whom are still living: George, a farmer of this county; Catherine, widow of Monroe Elmore and, later, widow of William Ray, the former a gallant soldier, who gave up his life at the battle of Peach Orchard. Rev. Lindley was reared 'mid the refining influences of a good home, his primary education being carefully attended to in a Friends' school. Having advanced far enough to enter the school room as a teacher, he alternately taught and went to school, paying his own expenses at an academy at Bloomingdale, Indiana. In 1859, he was elected Surveyor of Parke county, being, subsequently, reelected twice and appointed once. He then inherited a farm from his father and gave his attention to that until his coming to Kansas in 1881. Here he purchased a farm of one hundred and fifty-three acres, in Independence township, which he cultivated for several years, when he removed to Independence and assumed the pastorate of the Friends' church, a work which he has continued since. Rev. Lindley is an earnest worker in the Master's vineyard, and his labors, have not been without fruitage. He has passed several years in the service, having begun in 1873, to speak for his Master. Mrs. Lindley has also been an excellent worker, and is superintendent of evangelistic and pastoral work of the Elk River Conference. Prior to March 1, 1860, the date of her marriage to Rev. Lindley, she was Elizabeth Woody, daughter of James and Margaret Woody, of Indiana. These parents were also southern Quakers from North Carolina, coming to Indiana in 1829, where the father was a blacksmith and farmer. They continued to reside in the state until their demise, which occurred, father, November 30, 1893, and the mother, September 2, 1897. They reared a family of ten children, as follows: Jehu H., of Kingman, Indiana; John W., farmer of Montgomery county; Mary A., deceased wife of Thomas Hadley; Brice, who died in young manhood; Levi, of Kingman, Indiana; Elizabeth, Sarah, Mrs. George M. Lindley, of Parke county, Indiana; Hannah, Mrs. Hiram Lindley, of Parke county, Indiana; Lot L., of Berkley, California; and Jane, deceased in childhood. To Mr. and Mrs. Lindley have been born eleven children, as follows: Ruth J., Mrs. C. E. Morgan, whose children are mentioned herein; PatrickH, referred to on another page in this volume; Hannah C., whose first husband was W. Adkinson and who is now Mrs. William Baker, has children: Laura, Nettie, Byron and Opha; David J., married Flora Robertson and has children: Lessie E. and Fay J.; Mary S., Mrs. A. E. Harvey, with children: Iola B., Hazel, deceased, James A., Isaac L., Martha E. and Ruth G.; Levi G., who married Eva Neel, has a child, Ralph; Barnabas Hobbs, married Ida Mason and has one child, Rex; Elwood S., married Millie Parkhurst, with children: Carl and Osa B.; Howard M., a base ball player, of Leavenworth, Kansas; William F., a teacher; and Hattie J., high, school student. All of these children live within the confines of the county and are upright and useful citizens. Rev. and Mrs. Lindley are passing, serenely, along the latter part of life's journey, happy in the esteem of a large circle of friends, and blessed by the love of their children and grandchildren. Their influence is as an ever widening wavelet, whose onward journey shall not cease until it laps the shores of eternity.
