Death of A.V.S. Lindsley
Republished from the Nashville Banner: Mr Adrian Van Sinderan Lindsley, Sr., died at his residence, two miles from the city, near the Gallatin turnpike, shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. His death was quite sudden, and resulted from a severe cold which he contracted last week. the intelligence of his demise spread rapidly throughout the city, and caused the deepest regret, as the deceased was one of the most popular residents of Davidson County. Mr. Lindsley was a son of Dr. Philip Lindsley, who was at one time president of the University of Nashville, and held various positions of honor in Tennessee and other States. He was a graduate of the University of Nashville, and was secretary and treasurer of the board of Trustees of that institution for more than forty years. He served as postmaster of Nashville and Senator from Davidson county in the General Assembly, was for a number of years prominently connected with the Edgefield and Nashville street railroad, conducted a real estate and insurance business under the name of A.V.S. Lindsley & Son for a long time, and was at the time of his death a member of the firm of A.V.S. Lindsley & Williams. Mr. Lindsley leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. He was an affectionate husband, a kind father and a warm and true friend. He stood high, very high in social and business circles, and by his death the city has suffered a great loss. Mr. Lindsley was seventy-one years old. His funeral will occur from his late residence at 2 o'clock next Sunday afternoon.
