The hundred of Lindley
The hundred of Lindley is north of Morgan where
several areas were opened up in the 1880’s for
dry land farming.
Rudolph Haupt became one of the founders of
the Lindley Lutheran Church when on the 24 th of
March 1886, he, Carl Winter, Carl Promnitz, Fritz
Blutcher and Ernest Heinrich paid 2 pounds 3
shillings and six pence for one and a half acres of
land – section 29c Hundred of Lindley which
became the site of the Lindley School, church, and
cemetery.
Farming proved to be difficult in the Lindey area
and many families moved in the 1920’s.
The school closed in 1920’s.
Many families researching family history visit the
cemetery.
With this in mind, Daryl Jackman from Mc Laren
Flat, with the help of his Morgan cousin's, clean the
cemetery grounds twice a year .
Some families living in the Hundred of Lindley were;
Bartel, Escott, Berndt, Haupt, Briese, McIntyre,
Dolan, Kakoschke, Promnitz, Traeger, Watson,
Wohling, Bruhn and Jachmann.
Many descendants names still live in the area.
