Susie Blanton Moore was born on May 30, 1853, in New Liberty, Kentucky. Sometime after her mother Jane's death in 1867, her father Absalom moved to Vevay, Indiana, with her sister Atha and brother Robert. There Susie attended school and met her future husband, William Lindley. She married William Hall Lindley on December 7, 1876, in Vevay, Indiana. They began their married life in Vevay. Sometime after 1880 they joined a wagon train west and attempted to settle in Pueblo, Colorado. They were forced to leave Pueblo due to Indian hostilities and joined another wagon train traveling eastward. In Boston, Baca County, Colorado, she gave birth to Gertrude. From there they traveled with six other wagons through Kansas and then onward to take part in the 1889 Oklahoma Territory Land Run. They had three children during their marriage. Her husband Wiliam was killed in a flash flood after a cyclone had passed. He was riding on horseback over a bridge when the flash flood took out the bridge crushing him. She leased out the homestead and moved into Anadarko with her two daughters where she ran a boarding house. She died on November 17, 1929, in Albany, Greene County, Tennessee, at the age of 76. In 1959 her body was exhumed from Carters Station Cemetery, Albany, Tennessee, and reinterred next to her husband William Hall Lindley and infant daughter Gertrude in El Reno, Oklahoma.
