AARON D. LINDLEY was a native of Chatham County, N.C., was born March 1,
1827, and died October 18, 1878.  His parents were David and Mary (Hadley)
Lindley, natives of North Carolina, who moved to this State and located on a
tract about fourteen miles from where is now Monrovia, whence, in 1865 they
moved to Iowa, where the father died in 1877, but his widow is still living.
Aaron was reared to farming, received some education from the common
schools, and afterward attended Earlham College for a time.  He devoted his
life to agriculture, and died where he had passed his days.  September 20,
1849, he married Martha Painter, of Ohio, which union gave birth to six
children--Jacob P., Samuel (deceased), Mary (deceased), Irwin D., and
Howard.  Mrs. Lindley died April 11, 1864, and on the 12th of September,
1865, Mr. Lindley wedded Sarah Maxwell, of Wayne County, and to this union
was born one child--John M.  Mr. Lindley was a birthright member of the
Friends' Society.  He left his family well provided for, and his farm has
been well managed by his widow.  He was a worthy and progressive citizen,
and made great effort to have the Indianapolis & Sullivan Railroad
completed, but did not live to see that enterprise consummated.
