Lindsey was born to Rufus B. Lindsey, a native of Webster Parish, when it was 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 the county commission in other states).<ref name=archives>{{cite web|url=http://files.usgwarchives.org/la/calcasieu/bios/lindseyh.txt|title=Coleman Lindsey|publisher=usgwarchives|accessdate=July 10, 2009|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081230235432/http://files.usgwarchives.org/la/calcasieu/bios/lindseyh.txt|archivedate=December 30, 2008}} This material is derived from [[Henry E.
