HAVEN MAN, TINY SON DROWN AFTER BOAT CATCHES FIRE
By Vince Smith
Ledger Staff Writer
WINTER HAVEN----A 53-year old Winter Haven man and his three-year-old son
drowned here Monday afternoon when a boat they were fishing in suddenly
caught fire and they jumped overboard to escape the blaze.
Two other children escaped death when one remained in the blazing boat
and another swam ashore.
The bodies of Jessie Lindsay and his young son Billie Joe Lindsay, were re-
moved from Lake Blue by Winter Haven firemen at approximately 8:30 o'clock
Monday night.
The disaster occurred about 2:45 P.M. Monday as Lindsay and three of his
sons were fishing in Lake Blue, a Winter Haven lake lying just to the south of
Havendale Boulevard near 36th Street.
Wolf said Lindsay apparently tried to refuel the boat while the motor was
still running.

THE BOAT was hit by a flash fire and Lindsay and his three-year-old son im-
mediately jumped overboard.
Lindsay's two other son's, John, 8, and Richard, 9, remained in the boat,
witnesses said, with John later swimming safely to shore.
Fire departments from Auburndale and Lake Alfred were called to assist the
Winter Haven Fire Department.
Wolf said recovery of the bodies took place almost simultaneously --- about
8:30 Monday night.
The Winter Haven fire chief said that some ten boats were used in the re-
covery.
Firemen eventually used grappling hooks to recover the father and his small
son.

LINDSAY WAS a lift operator at Cypress Gardens Citrus Products and had
been employed by the firm since 1954. He worked in the fresh fruit packing
house of the firm.
The Winter Haven Fire Department reported that one of the sons who sur-
vived the tragedy finally managed to bring the fire under control.
Lindsay lived with his family at 3615 Ave. T, NW, only several blocks from
the scene of the tragedy.

Notes for JESSIE JAMES ROBERT LINDSAY, JR.:

Jessie Lindsay was born and raised in Arcadia, FL.(DeSoto Co.) in 1937. He
was the oldest of three boys. His brother's Harry and Louis were always fighting and competing with Jessie, from the time they were children through most of their adulthood, at least until they quit speaking to each other.
Their mother and father divorced on Sept. 19, 1950 which was less then one month before Jessie's 13th birthday. He entered the Navy in 1955 to pursue a field in aviation leaving Arcadia far behind. He was also married the same year to Thelma Murphy in Myakka City, FL. by the Rev. S. L. Albritton.
This would be the first of five more marriages to follow. Jessie married Thelma while she was pregnant with another man's child. Jessica was Jessie's first born, born May 2, 1957 to Thelma. They were divorced after only four years of marriage. Jessie had been living in Miami working as an air traffic
controller where he met Wilma Weiss who was only 17 yrs. old. This was around Feb. 1 1960. The two were wed on Feb. 15 1960 only two weeks after they met. This marriage bore 5 children. The last two births were very traumatic. Mark Adam was born with severe birth defects, while David Wayne
died after living only a day, being born premature.
Jessie came back to Arcadia, FL. around March of 1995 after living in Tennessee for about 15 years. He brought his wife Debbie and a Chihuahua with him from Tennessee. Now he resides in Georgia.
