Arch L. Lindsay

Arch L. Lindsay, age 89, formerly of Richwood, died early Friday morning, August 21, 2009 at his residence at Sterling House. He was born June 6, 1920 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the late Robert M. and Beulah (Houser) Lindsay.

On June 23, 1945 he married the former Ruth H. Fox and she survives.

(Cathy) Lindsay, Los Angeles, California; a daughter, Diane (Dan) Lehman, Richwood; six grandchildren, Kama (Michael) Rannells; Evan Lindsay; Shelly Lehman; Troy (Sarah) Lehman; Danika Lindsay; Kira Lindsay; and a great grandson Mack Rannells.
