Mary Ann Green (1861-1942) and Husband Alexander Cobb Lindsey (2)

“Mrs. A.L. Lindsey Rites at Coushatta Sunday Afternoon,” Shreveport Journal (27 June 1942), p. 5, col. 4

Or, Subtitled: “We all loved and respected Mollie Green Lindsey, our grandmother”

This posting is a continuation of a previous one in which I began documenting the life of my great-grandmother Mary Ann Green, daughter of Ezekiel Samuel Green and Camilla Birdwell, who married Alexander Cobb Lindsey on 2 November 1876 in Red River Parish, Louisiana. As the linked posting indicates, though Mary Ann’s death certificate, with Alec reporting this information, states that she was born 11 October 1862 in Pointe Coupee Parish, there are strong reasons to think that the year of birth reported on this document and inscribed on her tombstone is incorrect and that she was born 11 October 1861.
