LINDSEY Spring Hill Cemetery Faulkner County, Arkansas April 3, 1926 - May 8, 2002 -- Spring Hill Cemetery, http://arkansasgravestones.org/view.php?id=427637 ---------------------------------------------- Friend finds buddy believed killed in WWII alive in Conway Reunion never occurs as man dies before pal can arrive FRED PETRUCELLI Log Cabin Staff Writer Published Tuesday, May 14, 2002 Was it a strange premonition that compelled Ray Wageman to search for an old World War II buddy only to find him alive days before his death? For some 60 years, Wageman carried a mental picture of William F. Lindsey going down in flames over Germany during a World War II bombing raid. "I often wondered if Bill's family ever knew how he had met his death; how he performed so magnificently in the war," Wageman said. "I wanted to tell his family that I was a witness to his crash. I'm sure they would have wanted to know that William Lindsey was very well thought of and respected among all of the 18 enlisted men who resided in this Quonset hut." Not too many days ago, the Springfield, Mo., man was rummaging through old boxes of pictures and military citations when he came across a picture of Lindsey. "He was a handsome fellow, tall and blond. He was quiet and reserved and a good airman and excellent gunner. We got along very well, he sleeping in a bunk over me." He examined the photos closely and memories of the war and his days as an airman rushed through his mind. He recalled how he grieved over Lindsey's death. "I had a premonition that I needed to get in touch with his family and tell them what I had known about Bill," Wageman said. He began a search, armed only with the information from his roster book that listed Lindsey as a resident of Route 3, Conway, Arkansas. He searched fruitlessly for days, deciding finally to contact the Log Cabin Democrat for help. This he did in a letter to the editor. Sadly, the newsman taking up the search found old friends of Lindsey, who reported that the man was gravely ill at Conway Regional Medical Center and not a casualty of war as Wageman had believed. Shocked at finding Lindsey alive but dismayed at the news of his illness, Wageman prepared to visit the hospital to see his old military buddy. However, Lindsey's condition deteriorated and he died before the meeting could take place. "You can imagine how I felt. I had thought he was dead for all these years and suddenly I learn that he is alive. And now he's gone. I don't know what it was that told me to try to find Bill. I'm only sorry I didn't get to the hospital in time," Wageman said. He did, however, contact Tom Lindsey of Conway, who provided Wageman with details of his brother's life and his impending death. "I told my brother about Wageman's call but I don't know if he ever heard me, being so sedated," said Tom Lindsey, a Conway contractor. Wageman, after the war, worked for the FFA for a spell and the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield before spending the rest of his working life with the Springfield News Leader-Press as circulation director. He said he told Tom Lindsey about the bombing mission during the war that he thought claimed his friend's life. "We were with the 447th bombardment group on this day -- I believe it was Feb. 15, 1945 -- when we were to drop bombs on Augsburg, Germany. Upon approach to the target, our squadron struck 'prop wash,' as it was called, caused by the effect of a group of B-24 aircraft which crossed in front of our path, causing turbulence. This caused one of the planes to crash into the tail section of another aircraft. The engine of the first plane crashed into the tail section of the second plane and busted off the wing of the first plane. Both planes crashed and we saw no parachutes. It was then that I thought Lindsey, who was a ball turret gunner, went down." But Lindsey survived the crash, and also two others that occurred later after he became a pilot and during his days when he operated the Lindsey Flying Service as a crop duster in south Arkansas. In one such crash, Lindsey suffered severe burns necessitating considerable surgery. After his service in World War II, Lindsey also took part in the Korean War. He piloted the B-29 bomber which he called a "three-engine plane." Pressed to explain his remark of only three engines on a four-engine B-29, he said jokingly: "One of the engines always never worked." In World War II and Korea, Lindsey took part in 50 bombing missions and was unscathed. His luck did not hold during his crop dusting days, when putting down a plane in cotton fields was a fairly frequent occurrence. -- Log Cabin Democrat, Conway, Arkansas, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 ----------------------------------------------
Ann Linebaugh/Linbaugh was the second wife, or possibly the third, of John Green. She married him when he was about 42 years old. He had children born in the 1820s with Mary Tipton. Ann maried John Greene in about 1920 0r 1921. No marriage record has been found for John Greene, from before the birth of Elisha Green in about 1821. The middle name of Tipton for the son Isaac Tipton Green might indicate his mother's maiden name was Tipton. Some genealogies have combined the name Ann with Mary's surname Tipton as one wife of John Green. The 1850 census reports Ann as the head of her household containing Barsheba Carter, who appears to be her widowed sister Barsheba Carter and Barsheba's three childern. 1850 Federal Census, Platte County, Missouri, 5 October, Lee Township, Hse/Fam #185 Ann [Linebaugh] Greene 50 F Farmer $400 Real Estate Value b Tenn [b abt 1800].

Birth dates vary a lot between sources on Mary Liptrot. Some dates reported are 1700, 1695, 1684 Genealogies I have seen give the same birth and death dates for two of her children, James and Jane Strange. The identical birth dates indicate they were twins. It is curious that they have the same reported death date, though in different states.
