LINDSEY	Jacob	Lewis		Sylvatus, April 12, 1923--- Rev. Jacob Lewis Castle Lindsey, 74 years of age, of Ocala, died this morning from the effects of cancer, Death was not unexpected as his condition has been critical for sometime. Although his suffering was great he stood it remarkable well. He remained conscious almost to the end, recognizing and welcoming those who came to see him. It seemed to do him so much good for anyone to visit him and as long as he could talk he would converse with all those who paid him this respect. For the past two or three weeks he realized that it was only a matter of time till all would be over. Looking behind the dark cloud, the intense suffering to which he was subjected, he saw the silver lining as is evidenced by the following quotations he uttered in a broken voice but a strong faith shortly before his death: "Come life, come death, come what may I am happy in the Lord." "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for those that love Him." He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Emily Lindsey, five children, William, Dexter, Astor, Flora, and Oney, four brothers; William B., Richard W., David T., and Jessie Smith, Mrs. Bettie Wright, Mrs. Martha Gray and Mrs. Leah Gray, P., and four sisters, Mrs. Emily (incomplete obituary)	April 12, 1923
