The 1900 Census finds William and Mattie living in Wilson Township, Dallas County, Missouri, with five of their six children ages 12, 11, 7, 5 and 3. William is listed as a merchant and they owned their home.

This obituary appeared in the Hollis Herald Hollis, Greer County, Oklahoma, on Friday, February 10, 1905

Will C. Lindsey peacefully passed away on last Sunday at 8 o'clock a.m. and was buried about noon on Monday. He had been in bad health for several months; growing weaker and weaker and took to his bed a few days before his death.

He was a good man and a good citizen and was one of the first to start a business in the town of Hollis. He leaves five children, whose mother died some two years ago.

His estate consists of an interest in the stores of Lindsey Brothers and J. D. Linsey & Brothers, besides having some life insurance policies.

Reverend M. L. Scivally conducted the funeral services at the Baptist church Monday at 11 a.m., and despite the very inclement weather, a large crowd attended the funeral.

James and Amy were born and married in Tennessee. They migrated to Missouri in 1836 and raised their family there. In choosing a home site in Missouri, they realized the value of water and in this land of many springs that did not present much of a problem.

They chose as their home site a spot about 150 yards from the banks of the Niangua River and had a good spring of water in their yard. Wild ferns and violets grew in profusion around it.

Their house was built of logs, as were those of all their neighbors, and a "house-raising", where several friends gathered to notch and place the logs and thus raise the walls to room proportions, was generally the accepted practice. In sharing their work this way, for one and another, while the women prepared a picnic meal, the work went faster and good fellowship enlivened their somewhat monotonous days.

If slaves had accompanied their masters to this new country, as some did, smaller cabins for the "darkies" were erected a short distance away. James was a slave holder at the time of the Civil War and probably did bring a few with him from Tennessee - at least a Negro "mammy" to help care for little Jesse Hezekiah.

James and Amy stood in high esteem of their community. Each was small of stature, very slender and quite active. Amy was a homely woman. After her death at the age of 65, James married Addie KIBBE and his friends and acquaintances said that "Jimmie HOLLIS undoubtedly got the two ugliest women in the world". Never the less, Amy was always so friendly, kind and jolly, everyone liked her and forgot her lack of beauty.

When there was sickness in the community, Amy was always ready to go and she was almost equal to a doctor in emergencies. Amy and Mrs. Ailcie Jones were at the Spencer Marlin home when twin boys were born. Wishing to honor these two good friends, the proud parents decided to name the boys for the ladies' husbands, but each husband was named James and called Jimmie. Since the name "Jesse" was a well-established name in the HOLLIS clan, the boys were named Jesse Hollis and Jimmie Jones. Author: Cecil Grace Hollis Puryear
