Obituary
Deceased: Carl L. Lindsay, Jr.
Date of death: January 13, 2015
Dateline: Solebury, PA
To be run in the Doylestown Intelligencer and the Bucks County Herald
Carl L. Lindsay, Jr., a lawyer in the New Hope and Doylestown areas for more than 50 years, died Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at his home in Solebury. He was 87.
Lindsay grew up in Northeast Pennsylvania, spending most of his childhood in Honsdale, PA. After attending Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, he moved to Camden, New Jersey where he worked as an insurance adjuster and attended law school at night at Rutgers University. After graduation Lindsay was drafted into the Army and spent 18 months in Germany during the Allied occupation following World War II.
Upon returning to the states, Lindsay settled in Doylestown, PA and became a member of the Doylestown Bar. He opened his law offices in New Hope shortly thereafter and spent the rest of his career there.
Lindsay was a prominent figure in town for decades. He was one of the founders of the New Hope Historical Society and was involved, as an attorney, in many of the building projects in the area. There’s hardly a property in the borough that he didn’t help an owner sell, rezone, get permission to renovate or subdivide at some point. His knowledge of the New Hope Zoning Ordinance was nearly encyclopedic.
More importantly, he was a part of the fabric of town. He could always be seen walking, with his signature crew cut, up and down Main Street, talking to everyone and telling stories. His sense of humor, his intellect and his strong ideals will be missed by many.
He is survived by his partner of 15 years, Carol Corbett, his three children Christine Lindsay Farley, Anne Lindsay Thornton and CL Lindsay III; his three grandchildren Helen and Karen Thornton and Jack Farley and his good friend and caretaker for the past two years Margarida Faia. He was predeceased by his wife, Helen Kinnamon Lindsay in 1997.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, January 17, at 2 pm at Trinity Episcopal Church Cemetery, N. Sugan Road at Route 263, New Hope (Solebury), PA.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that a donation be made to Maryville College, 502 East Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville, TN 37804.
