Death Fannie died 14 May 1950 as a widow^[13]

Fannie Lindley was born to Isabella Lindley 12-12-1868. Her mother was believed to have a common law husband named Abernathy or Abercrombie who died in a saw-mill accident leaving her with 3 sons and a daughter. A marriage certificate found shows Isabella and L.W. Folds married 11-21-1872 but it's unknown if he was the birth father Of Fannie. Sometime after that date her mother was washing clothes outside when her dress caught fire killing her. Fannie was my grandmother's mother. Grandmother told my father "her dad" (presumed to be LW Folds) remarried but the new wife didn't want the children (Fannie & her brothers) so they went to live with their grandfather Henry & grandmother Charity Lindley. The 1870 census shows Henry age 70, Charity 71, Isabella 26, and 3 boys Tober/Tobis b.1865, Jas. b.1867, Wm b.1869 (8 mnths old). The census was taken in June 1870.^[14] It is unknown what became of Tober/Tobis and William. I've not been able to find them in any census. James who along with Fannie were living in the household of their Uncle William Lindley in Texas (along with Charity, his mother) in the 1880 census. ^[15]

Three of Henry Lindley's sons had moved to Texas & are in the 1860 censuses. Sometime before 1880 Henry, Charity, Fannie, James and perhaps the other two sons of Isabella traveled by wagon from Georgia to Wood County, Tx. Charity, Fannie & James are in the 1880 census living with (uncle) William & Arrena Lindley. Fannie told my father (her grandson) about the wagon trip, saying the Mississippi River flooded and "was out of its banks" and they had to wait a long time for the river to recede and the ground to dry before traveling on. Per the Natl Weather Service there was a flood in the year 1874. I can only assume they traveled from Campbell Cnty Ga. thru Birmingham, Jackson, Shreveport to Wood Cnty, Tx.

Fannie Lindley Key was known to her grandchildren as Mommy Key. She died at the home of her youngest daughter, Josephine Key Farr.
