Isaac Coleman Lindsey, known as Coleman Lindsey (October 2, 1892 – November 15, 1968), was a Democratic member of the Louisiana State Senate, a district judge, and from 1939 to 1940, the lieutenant governor under Governor Earl Kemp Long.
Lindsey was born to Rufus B. Lindsey, a native of Webster Parish (then part of Claiborne Parish), and the former Lydia Hamilton in Dry Creek in Calcasieu Parish (now Allen Parish) near Lake Charles in southwestern Louisiana. He grew up on a farm and was reared by his maternal grandparents, the Reverend Isaac Hamilton and the former Lydia Eliza Simmons. He lived for a time in DeRidder in Beauregard Parish and attended the "Ten Mile School" and Oakdale High School in Oakdale in Allen Parish. Lindsey taught school for a time and was assistant state treasurer under Howell Morgan. He was also a former clerk of the Allen Parish Police Jury (the parish governing body akin to county commission in other states).
In 1921, Lindsey received his LL.D. from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge. That same year he represented Allen Parish in the Louisiana Constitutional Convention.
At this time, Lindsey was already married for seven years to the former Cora Herring (April 8, 1894—December 1973), a native of Rosebud in Falls County near Temple, Texas, and he was then the father of two sons, Rufus Jason Lindsey (born 1916) and Douglas Hamilton Lindsey (1919–2006). Rufus Lindsey became a playwright in London, England, and a friend of numerous Hollywood stars. Douglas Lindsey was the salutatorian of the 1936 graduating class of Mindnh High School.
