Mrs. Lindsay allied herself closely with her husband’s professional duties and with his manifold outside interests. She took a keen interest in the Denaby and District Choral Society of which Dr. Lindsay is president, and during the war was a prime mover in the popular “snowball” teas run in conjunction with Mexborough Montagu Hospital Comforts Fund.
