My memories of William F. "Uncle Billy" Lindtner go back to my very early child-
  hood. Each Saturday, Uncle Billy would to to the Sharon Drug Store about a block
  from where he lived, buy a vanilla ice cream cone, get into his car, and come to
  our house bringint the drippy ice cream cone wrapped with a napkin. This was his
  special treat to me each week.
     Though Uncle Billy never married he was the 'Casanova' of the Sharon Valley.
  He always had a shiny new car every year or two and all the girls were always
  ready to go with him to the dances, parties, and ball games.
     The famly, so far as I know, consisted of his parents and a younger sister, Anna
  Bertha, who later married Frank McReynolds.
     Uncle Billy first came to Harper around 1882 where he worked as a carpenter. He
  and his sister each homesteaded a claim in Cedar Township near the McReynolds claim.
  He hauled lumber from Harper to build a house. After many years on the claim, he
  moved to Sharon where he resided until his death in 1945 at the age of 96.
     He maintained his own home until very shortly before his death. He helped to
  build many of the business buildings as well as homes in Sharon. Among my special
  keepsakes are a doll bed and dresser that Uncle Billy made for me.
     He was very particular when it came to buying a new car. He would insist that
  the dealers would let him try it out. He would drive to the big hill on the old
  Hazelton road and try to drive up the hill in high gear. If the car could not
  make it up the hill, he would not buy it. Ruth Leith Fetrow recalls asking him why
  he put doors in both ends of his new garage. He replied, "I just don't know if I
  can get this machine stopped so I can just go on out the other end!"
