Jasper      4/15/2023

I am both humbled and honored to be here today.  With Jasper in mind, I would like to start by quoting Numbers 22:1 where it says "A Good Name is to be chosen rather than Great Riches".

What can you say about our dear friend Jasper?  A better question might be, what can you not say about Jasper?  He was bigger than life and such a great man in so many ways.

I looked up the word "Jasper" to see what it meant.  Webster said it meant "a hard coating that protects fine porcelain".  All these years and I never knew what "Jasper" meant.  I think he was aply and rightly named. That is what he did his whole life.  Looked after others and lov...

Jerome Dunson, Newnan High School Class of 69, died on July 31, 2021. We lose more of our friends each year, and we miss them—each contributed to our class and our high school experience. Nevertheless, Jerome's passing struck us especially hard. He was not only a great athlete, friend, and person; Jerome was also a pioneer, a trailblazer and a peacemaker.

Starting with one truck and two electricians, the business quickly grew to include not only electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning, but furniture and appliances as well as the Pepsi Cola franchise for 13 counties.

In 1958 Lindsey's Inc. moved from LaGrange Street to the building now occupied by the Newnan Times-Herald, and the real estate and insurance business began in the back of the furniture store...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSEY'S, INC. REALTORS!

We are proud to be celebrating our 70^th year in business in Newnan, Georgia this year!

My father, Lindsey Hand Barron, returned from college and the Navy in 1948 and started business in Newnan.  I know that he would be proud that, not only are his two sons, Frank and Chip, are now running the business and carrying on the fine traditions and legacy that he set for doing business over 70 years ago.  He would be especially pleased that two of his grandsons, Jess and Tom Barron, are now in business with Lindsey's as well.

We would like to thank Newnan and Coweta County for their support and business over the years.  Repeat business and word of mount recommendations from satisfied customers have continued to make Lindsey's a success.  Our employees have also held up the high standards of doing bu...
