(knowledge of Robert H Lindley) [Perhaps W F Lindley moved there in order to work at the mill at Saxapahaw, which would explain why he left the Cane Creek area where the Lindleys traditionally lived.]

33. Story. ³⁹²⁴ Ed Mann lived at the south corner of what is now Rt 87 and the road to Moore's Chapel Cemetery. His store was on the east corner. There were homemade tennis courts located in between Ed Mann's house and William F Lindley's house. Continuing SE along Rt 87, we reach a crossroads with another road to Saxapahaw. If we turn right onto that road, we reach Hoover Lindley's house on the right. Continuing along that road, we cross a creek (this is the creek that was dammed to create the waterworks), then reach a site on the left that was purchased by Perce Lindley, but he never moved there. Backtracking to Rt 87, if we continue SE along Rt 87, we reach the home of William Amick Lindley on the right, now the home of Billy Lee Lindley. Across Rt 87 from Billy Lee's house is the home of William Arthur Lindley. Further down Rt 87, on the NE side of the road, is the site of William F Lindley's first home. Bob believes Perce bought this also, but is unsure what happened to it. Retracing steps back to Ed Mann's store, there is a road along Rt 87 SE of the store that goes towards Saxapahaw. Ed Thompson and wife Eva (Lindley) lived along that road, and perhaps Cora Lindley, widow of James Monroe Lindley, also lived along that road. Perhaps Cora lived in a home that was purchased for her by Lillian.

34. Residence: Alamance County, North Carolina, United States. The location of William's second home is now on the W side of Rt 87 near the road to Saxapahaw. It is now (2001) falling down. It now is very near the road, but when he lived there it was further back from the road (the road has moved). On the E side of Rt 87 a bit North of the second home is land that was purchased by Charles Lindley and Gladys Haywood Lindley, intending to build a home there. However, they lost that land during the Depression. (knowledge of Robert H Lindley)

35. Story. ^816,3924 He was a farmer. Had a moustache, smoked a pipe. Made footballs out of pig bladders. Was a stern disiplinarian. Did not allow speaking at the dinner table. Was hard of hearing, so when sons Charles and P.E. built a crystal radio and picked up a Philadelphia station, he did not believe them.

36. Story. ⁸¹⁶ Had a half acre pond on the property with a dam that was used to generate electricity. Once electricity was run to the property by the utility company, the pond was allowed to drain dry. [Robert H Lindley believes the electricity was at Hoover Lindley's, not W F Lindley's, and was built by Charles, Perce, and Hoover. The dam was made of wood.] He felt that the dinner table was a place for eating, not for conversation. When he was ready to eat, he would go to the table, say the blessing, and begin, whether or not anyone else was there.

37. Story. ³⁹²⁸ The dam was broken throuth and the pond drained after complaints from a neighbor (Moore) that the water was backing up onto his farmland.

38. Story. ⁸¹⁶ He used to sit close to the fire to keep warm, and one time his blanket caught fire, burning his legs. Gladys Haywood Lindley sat with him until he recovered.

39. Story. ³⁹²⁴ His yard was kept clear of vegetation ("skint"). This reduced yard maintenance, and also kept it clear of snakes. He had his own forge and bellows, so he probably shoed his own horses (Hoover had his shoed by a travelling blacksmith). Robert H Lindley has a few items that were made in the forge.

40. Story. ³⁹²⁴ William's second house had a parlor, but also a main room with a fireplace which is where the family would sit when visiting, and where William slept. It had a dining room, kitchen, another room (where furniture was stored later), and two bedrooms upstairs. His daughter Lillian slept there at first while William was alive. At some point, they added a chemical toilet to the house, but maybe nobody used it but William so he would not have to go outside. Otherwise, people used the outhouse. There was a long porch that went the length of the day room and kitchen. There was a bucket of water from the well there, and a basin for washing. There was a cream separator there, probably used by his son Hoover since Hoover kept his milk in the "spring house" (really the well house) to keep it cool, so it would have been a convenient place to use it. The porch was screened. There was a gutter on the edge of the porch roof that caught rain water and fed it into a barrel for use with washing and bathing. Wells were hand-dug, so they were not very satisfactory. It took two people to dig the well; one to dig, one to draw the dirt out. The well was located next to the spring house. When you drew water at the well, any extra water went into a trough that flowed into the spring house and kept the water available for use.

41. Story. I have photo of William by himself, standing by a river. Another photo shows people playing golf on his land. Another photo shows William, wife Jenette, Hoover, Perce, and three younger women, probably Eva, Lillian, and Myrtle. I have a portrait photo of William and Jennette.

42. Story. Not sure about middle name. Could be Forshee or Foushee.

William married Lucinda Jeanette* TEAGUE, daughter of Isiah* TEAGUE and Nancy J.* YORK, on 27 Jun 1877 in Mebanesville Twp, Alamance County, North Carolina, United States.³³⁵⁴ (Lucinda Jeanette* TEAGUE was born on 14 Jan 1855 in Alamance County, North Carolina, United States,^{51,1274,1876,3353,3354,3929} died on 17 Feb 1920 in Alamance County, North Carolina, United States ^3353,3929 and was buried on 18 Feb 1920 in Moore's Chapel Cemetery, Alamance County, North Carolina, United States ^3353,3929.). The cause of her death was Paralysis caused by ruptured blood vessel in brain.¹⁸⁸¹

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Marriage, 27 Jun 1877, Mebanesville Twp, Alamance County, North Carolina, United States. ³³⁵⁴ William F. Lindley, age 21, born 1856, son of William W. Lindley and Frances B. Lindley, married Jannett Teague, age 22, born 1855, daughter of Isaiah Teague and Nancy Teague.

2. Story. ^816,3924 William and Jeanette did not follow correct procedures in Quaker church to announce their intentions to marry, and so they were expelled from the church. While this happened quite often, and most couples were accepted back when they apologized, William and Jeanette never went back. [I believe it is possible that William left the Quaker church because he wished to marry Jeanette, who was not a Quaker, rather than because they did not follow Quaker procedures in announcing their intentions to marry.]
