Lindsey An unincorporated village on the line between sections 19 and 20, Rock Township, at the intersection of Co.Trunks N and V. The survey of a village plat was certified on July 7, 1891. ,The plat was taken out by S. L. Nason and George Hiles, and was recorded on Sept. 23, 1891. However, it was never filled in. The village grew up around Lindsey flag station on the Milwaukee, Dexterville, and Northern Railway. According to the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, the village was named for a former Neillsville, Wis. man who was one of the first to carry on logging operations in this part of the state (Cent., sec. 4, p. 13). This is evidently F. D. Lindsey, whose lumbering camp SW of Neillsville was reported destroyed by fire in the late nineteenth century (Times, June 17, 1882). The village name was misspelled “Lindsay” in Times, Dec. 29, 1893, and Sept. 10, 1897. Lindsey Bluffs An elevation extending from SW sec. 16 to W sec. 17, Rock Township. Named after nearby Lindsey . Lindsey PO The original name, Hogan PO, was changed to Lindsey PO on Aug. 28, 1889. The PO was discontinued in 1945 (Cent., sec. 4, p. 13). Named for Lindsey. Lindsey School A former school (Joint Dist. No. 1 for Rock, Richfield, and Cary townships) in the village of Lindsey, for which it was named. The building no longer remains. Lindsey Creek Possibly another name for Rocky Run (2). The name appears in Times, March 10, 1893, in a report which locates the creek in Wood County.
