George F. Lindsay Jr., brother of the late B. J. Lindsay of Denison and member of a prominent Grayson county family, died Sunday morning at 8:05 o'clock at his home in Amarillo. Death came suddenly for the Amarillo business man although he had been in failing health several months, even before the death of his brother here early this year. He spent several weeks in hospitals at Temple and Dallas before being returned home some time ago.
The body was taken to Sherman, his birthplace, for burial, and funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Dannel-Scott funeral home in Sherman, with Rev. Roy H. Biser, Central Christian church pastor, officiating. Burial was in West Hill Cemetery with the Masonic lodge conducting services at the grave.

Starting his career as bookkeeper for the C.T. Gribble Grain Company in Sherman. Mr. Lindsay later was timekeeper for the Frisco railroad and accountant for the Sherman Steam Laundry. He went to Amarillo 27 years ago to become manager of the Panhandle Steam Laundry of which he subsequently became a co-owner.
Mr. Lindsay was a thirty-second degree Mason, a Shriner, and a Rotarian, holding the rare record of never missing a Rotary luncheon until ill health besieged him. As a philanthropist, he aided many worthy causes and was the benefactor of the Amarillo High School, particularly the football team, being known as "Uncle George" among the students.
