John Clark Lindsay
Press Democrat, June 3, 1927
Contributed by Mary Ann LindsayAfter a lingering illness, marked in its last days by the race of a son across an ocean and a continent to reach his bedside before the end, John Clark Lindsay, pioneer Santa Rosa building contractor, died at his home in McDonald Avenue here yesterday morning. He had recently celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday.
Death followed an illness of two years, during the last several weeks of which it had been evident that he could not survive. Nevertheless it came as a shock to a wide circle of friends here, who had known Lindsay for years as an able and conscientious builder. Born in Scotland, he had been in California for more than fifty years and a resident of Santa Rosa for twenty years.
It was only a few days ago that the Reverend Father Lawrence Lindsay, a son, who was studying in Europe when he received a cablegram announcing the critical nature of his father's illness, reached Santa Rosa. He won the race with death after a trip from Louvain, Belgium, where he was ordained, to Santa Rosa, and was able to comfort his father by his presence in Lindsay's last days.
Funeral services will be held at the Lafferty and Smith undertaking parlors here Saturday morning, followed by a requiem mass at 10 o'clock at St. Rose's Church. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Mary A. Lindsay, Lindsay is survived by nine children. They are Mrs. R. B. Phillips, Mrs. M. A. Boyle, and James Lindsay of Oakland, Jack, Andrew, William and Edward Lindsay and Mrs. Clyde Caldwell of Santa Rosa, and Father Lindsay, a priest of the Dominican order.

A native of New York, Mrs. Lindsay came to California seventy years ago, moving to Santa Rosa with her husband who built many of the city's older buildings. He died ten years ago.

Ethel Louise (Walker) Lindsay
Press Democrat, Oct 6, 1996
Contributed by Mary Ann LindsayEthel Louise Walker Lindsay, a member of a pioneer family with deep roots in California history, died Tuesday at her Santa Rosa home. She was 91.
She was born in Santa Rosa. Her parents were Henry Lee Walker and Cora Isabel Gilbert Walker. Her great-grandparents, Joel and Mary Walker, were among the first settlers to travel west to California. Based on genealogical research, her mother was said to be the first woman to arrive in California from the East by way of the Oregon Trail.
Joel Walker was among those who signed the state constitution when California was admitted as the 31st. state in 1850. Lindsay researched the histories of both the Walker and Lindsay families. She also contributed to the book, "The Westering Man," which includes the story of Joseph Walker, her great-uncle, reportedly the first settler to see Yosemite Valley.
Through family efforts, the story of the Joel Walker family is available in the genealogy section of the Sonoma County Library. The Lindsay family history has been updated and is being donated to the library in Ethel Lindsay's memory.
Lindsay attended the original Luther Burbank School and high school classes at various locations including those in church and lodge halls after the high school was lost in a fire in 1921.
She first worked for Woolworth's in downtown Santa Rosa in the 1920s. During World War II, she served on the local rationing board. She also was active in the South Park PTA for many years.
She attended many annual family gatherings on the Walker Ranch in Bennett Valley. Her sister-in-law, Roberta Walker, still lives on the ranch. Family members remember Lindsay as their favorite "auntie."
She is also survived by her husband, Edward Lindsay, who at 93 is the only surviving child of John Clark and Mary Ann Boylan Lindsay, a pioneer McDonald Avenue family. Lindsay is also survived by her daughter, Barbara Jean Lindsay of Napa, who cared for her aging parents for several years.
Friends can visit after 1 p.m. today at the Eggen & Lance Mortuary on Mendocino Avenue. The Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. today at the mortuary. Mass will be offered at 10 a.m. Monday at St. Rose Catholic Church in Santa Rosa. Burial will be at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.

Edward Thomas Lindsay
Press Democrat, Nov 30, 1997
Contributed by Mary Ann LindsayEdward Thomas Lindsay, the longest surviving member of a pioneer Sonoma County family, died Tuesday at his Santa Rosa home after a long illness.
Lindsay retired from National Cash Register Co. in 1969, after working for the company 47 years, mainly as a salesman. He began working at National Cash Register when his high school typing teacher recommended him for an after-school and weekend office job, according to Lindsay's daughter, Barbara Jean Lindsay of Napa.
After Lindsay graduated from Santa Rosa High School in 1921, National Cash Register hired him first as a full-time bookkeeper and later as a salesman. Working out of the company's office on the east side of Santa Rosa's Courthouse Square, Lindsay serviced accounts throughout Northern California. His daughter said he was a successful salesman, and over the years, he won many sales awards from the company.
Lindsay was born in Santa Rosa on Sept. 17, 1903, the youngest of nine children of carpenter-contractor John Clark and Mary Ann Boylan Lindsay. He was born in the family home, which still stands across from the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery at the north end of McDonald Avenue. His father was the contractor hired in 1899 to build the Round Barn in Fountaingrove, now a historical landmark.
In 1925, Lindsay married Ethel Louise Walker, herself a member of a pioneer California family. Her great-grandfather, Joel Walker, was among those who signed the state Constitution when California was admitted as the 31st. state in 1850. The genealogy of the Walker family is in the historical collection at the Sonoma County Library.
After his retirement, Lindsay enjoyed working in the garden at his home on Lomitas Avenue, where he lived for more than 50 years. He was known to the family as the "great story teller" because he loved to tell stories about his family and the history of Santa Rosa.
He was a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus, St. Rose Catholic Church and the Retired Employees' Association of National Cash Register.
In addition to his daughter, Lindsay is survived by his sister-in-law, Roberta Walker, and numerous nieces and nephews. Lindsay's wife died in October 1996.
Recitation of the Rosary will be at 7 p.m. today in the chapel at Eggen and Lance Mortuary, 1540 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. Mass will be celebrated at St. Rose Catholic Church at 10 a.m. Monday, followed by burial at Calvary Catholic Cemetery. Donations may be made to the Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice of Northern California, 1110 N. Dutton Ave., Santa Rosa 95401, or to a charity of choice.

He had recently made the brave decision to pursue a lung transplant at UCSF and was undergoing the final tests when he fell ill. Ken was 68. Born in Pawtucket, RI, on October 28, 1935, Ken was the younger son of Merton "Mac" and Dorothy Brant, both now deceased, and the brother of Donald Brant, also deceased. After attending school in the Pawtucket area, he served four years in the army. Stationed for a time in Panama, Ken became an expert at business machine programming in the 1950's, when most people were entirely unfamiliar with computers. Ken moved to California in 1958 and began a distinguished career as a Computer Programmer and Systems Specialist. He worked for Roos/Atkins in San Francisco for 18 years. It was there that he met his wife, Maureen. In the late '70s he worked for Cal Farm in Berkeley and the Gap in San Bruno. In 1980 he took a position with Fireman's Fund in San Rafael and Novato, where he worked for 19 years, until he retired in 1999.
In 1970 Ken became a Catholic and dedicated himself whole-heartedly to the Church. He was a founding member of "The Community" at Saint Anselm's. Since 1994 he has been a very active parishioner of St. Leo's Catholic church in Agua Caliente. He served as Lector, Eucharistic Minister and member of the pastoral assembly. Ken loved sports and nature. An avid 49-er fan, "Coach Brant" mentored many in the game of football. In San Rafael he coached Pop Warner, and at Novato High School he assisted with the Frosh/Soph team. He took pleasure in hiking and bird watching, and he liked photography, making many memorable collages of his nature walks and his family. In recent months he used a mobility scooter to continue to get out and enjoy the outdoors with his wife and family. Ken definitely cherished his time with the family. He got out frequently to dinner or a movie with his beloved wife, Maureen. Large family get-togethers were a favorite time for him to express his love and appreciation to his family.
