Mr. Lindsey Continues Recovery

Mr. Oval Lindsey of Mohawk.

Darren Doyle, story:
A benefit raffle has been organized by C&C Firearms & Outdoors for Mr. Oval Lindsey, who lost his home in a structure fire on Sunday, January 5th on Arthur Lindsey Road in the Mohawk community.

Lindsey was injured in the fire, suffering smoke inhalation along with several cuts. He was rescued by friends nearby that were able to break out a back window and pull him through.

According to his daughter Tina Williams, Mr. Lindsey was placed in intensive care. He was placed on oxygen, received breathing treatments and antibiotics, and was sedated so he could rest.

Mrs. Williams said her father was discharged from the hospital this past Friday where he was staying with his other daughter.

"He is still coughing but is still taking antibiotics," she told the Edmonson Voice in a private message. "His dementia is about the same. Worse at night. He will do better by being in surroundings he is familiar with. He was so happy to get to go home yesterday (Friday). We are so thankful for all the prayers."

All proceeds of the raffle will go to benefit Mr. Lindsey in a recovery effort. First prize is a Henry Golden Boy Large Loop .22LR rifle ($700 value) and second place is a Benchmade Bugout pocket knife ($200 value). The prizes are provided from both C&C and an anonymous donor.

Chances are $10 each and can be purchased in-person at C&C Firearms and Outdoors on South Main Street in Brownsville.
