JOHN B. LINDSEY was born in Frankfort, on the 4th of July, 1837, and his
life is in contradistinction to the spirit of the proverb that a prophet
is never without honor save in his own country, for in the city of his
birth he has risen to an eminent position at the Frankfort bar.  He is
now associated in business with his brother, General D. W. Lindsey, with
whom he was a classmate in a private school conducted by B. B. Sayre,
and also the Kentucky Military Institute.  His health becoming impaired
he removed to Texas in 1856, and in the Lone Star state engaged in
farming, seeking in this outdoor occupation the health which had failed
under his rigorous mental work.  After some years he returned to the
state of his nativity, where he also followed farming until 1863, after
which he engaged in general business until 1874.  In that year he was
admitted to practice, having previously studied law under the direction
of his father, the Hon. T. N. Lindsey, one of the distinguished members
of the bar.  He became associated with his brother, General D. W.
Lindsey, a connection that has since continued until the firm has gained
a reputation that places it among the foremost legal partnerships in
the state.  Mr. Lindsey is making a specialty of chancery cases.  He
has the reputation of being the most painstaking and diligent lawyer at
the bar in the preparation of his papers and his cases.  He is a careful
and safe counselor, is thoroughly informed concerning all authorities, and
in pleading his cause his eloquence, logic and undisputable argument are
seldom surpassed.
     Mr. Lindsey was married in 1860 to Miss Helen Talbot, daughter of
William G. Talbot, a large landowner of Bourbon county, Kentucky.
They have eight children: William J., Dudley, John B., Maria, Isabelle,
Cordelia, Lillian and Genevieve.  The family attend the Protestant
Episcopal church.
