Death of Lycurgus Lindsey
The death of Lycurgus Lindsey occurred last week at his home in Los Angeles, Calif. He was the son of the late William Lindsey, builder of the dam across the Neosho River i 1874. Lycurgus was a pupil of the Humboldt schools. After the Lindsey flouring mill was destroyed by fire he went west and became a leader in southwest mine circles where he accumulated a fortune of several millions. A "clipping" furnished us from a Los Angeles, Calif., paper by R. R. Cochran, will be of interest to all Humboldt citizens of the early day.
Last rites for Lycurgus Lindsey, pioneer mining and ranching operator of the Southwest, who died at the California Lutheran Hospital on Friday night of heart disease following a week's illness, will be conducted tomorrow at 11 a.m. at the Little Church of the Flowers in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, with interment to follow in Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Pierce Brothers.
Mr. Lindsey, who was 72 years of age, was born in Princeton, Mo., and had been a resident of this city since 1905. The family residence was at 1504 South Manhattan Place. From the time he was a young man after he had completed his schooling in Kansas and Illinois, when he started out in the milling and cattle feeding business, then later widened the scope of his activities to include mining and ranching, until the time of his death he was known in Kansas, Texas, Mexico and throughout the Southwest, as the owner and operator of extensive mining and ranching properties.
His earliest operations in the grain and cattle feeding business were centered in Kansas and Southeastern Texas during the years from 1881to 1889. Then mining interests took him into Sonora, Mexico, where in 1895, as superintendent of the Santa Rosa Lea mine, he located and opened one of the richest veins of copper in the world. He was also the owner of large cattle and stock ranches in Sonora and of other mining and ranching properties in Arizona, Nevada and California.
For many years during his residence here he had been a director of the Los Angeles Trust Company and at one time was president of the First National Bank of Nogales, Ariz. He was one of the first members of the Los Angeles Athletic Club and a member of the California Club.
He leaves his widow and two daughters, Mr. E. M. Davids and Mrs. Frank Splane, both of this city.
