Matt Finch Lindsay, known as "Pat", served in the U.S. Army during WWI as a military policeman. He was on a ship to France when the war was declared to be over. He was stationed at Camp Pena Colorado in Brewster County, Texas near the Big Bend area in the early 1920's.

Following that war, they resided in San Luis Obispo county, operating an antique store in Atascadero.
